Yes... but as I recall, Santa Anna eventually took the Alamo, but then got his butt kicked at ________ ?
Well, glad you found some access.... Your days work sure seems pleasant enough! Good luck with laptop puter!
San Jacinto
Speaking of San Jacinto... My high school M. B. Lamar was (still there) bordered by a residential street called San Jacinto. The !@#$ city changed the name of the street to Sam J. Curlee.
HOW DARE THEY!
Who is Sam J Curlle anyway?
found him.. Still he is basically an unknown in the community. I, personally, would rather have the name San Jacinto back.
CURLEE SAMUEL J. AIR CORPS WWII
It isn't offically kilt yet, but I do believe it is unoffically kilt.
G'night hobbits
Good night!
He wasn't from Arlington. He was from Itasca. I don't erally have any idea why Arlington would name a street for him. I could see Itasca honoring him thus, though.
Not kilt, I'm just easily stumped speechless by Texas history ;~D
Anyway, good night!
Good night :~D
Hey.... I'm so jealous of her I should slap myself. I have more than a few regrets sometimes.
Me too. I was a heartbeat away from re-enlisting into a dream job in the CG. I would have been an E5 in an E6 billet as the OPS boss on a 110 ft boat out of Arcata, CA.
It was a dream job. #3 in command on a really active patrol boat, and lots of boat driving experience. I would've made Chief in a couple of years, easy.
Of course if I'd done that I'd probably have been a lifer, though the scary part of that is that I would only now be coming up on my retirement *this* year.
I'm not sure it would've been a bad choice.
We've done OK.... You've done well... I absolutely love my life, I love my husband and my horses, I wouldn't want Beth's life flying to Singapore even if I think it's awesome, but there's some years in between then and now that I could have spent flying... I didn't quit because I wasn't good at it... I lost the dream for fairly weak reasons.
Gooooood morning happy campers!
Oh!
Why not?
