I said that I wasn't going to ping both threads, but I've changed my mind. I'm sorry to any who are offended by two pings. I want to use this ping to repeat Dolly's request for help with hosting. I'm going to grab a couple of weekends, and I'm asking others to do the same.

April 20-22 - Earth Day Weekend.

April 27-30. - How about someone doing NFL draft day? It's not necessarily going to interest all of the singles, particularly the ladies, but I think the draft is next weekend. (I won't be here, so I can't do it.)

May 11-13 – Mother’s Day Weekend - DollyCali .

Bill

This might not be a bad idea, since my very own and beloved Raiders are on the clock as we speak. :)

Let's not forget a vital date in American history, the anniversary of which passed a couple of days ago.

Unfortunately, Americans with very short memories and/or who failed to learn history will only remember April 19th as the anniversaries of Waco and OKC, and the day before the Columbine anniversary. But it's also the anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution.

On April 19th, 1775, Captain Parker and his 75 member militia company gathered in the early morning on Lexington Green to face the 600-800 British redcoats on their way to seize powder stocks said to be in Concord. Parker told his men to fire only if fired upon, but if the British meant to have a war, "then by God, let it start here". In the resulting firefight, eight members of the Lexington company were killed, and the British marched on to Concord.

When they got there, most of the armaments had been moved, the townpeople having been alerted the night before by Richard Dawes (not by Paul Revere, who had been captured by the British that morning). The redcoats set fire to what was left, then turned to march back to Boston.

The warnings issued by Revere, Dawes, and Dr. Richard Prescott, and the smoke from the fires in Concord alerted militas and citizens in surrounding villages and farms. They turned out in the woods lining the road to Boston, and attacked the British column, killing roughly 75 and wounding another roughly 175. The American patriots lost roughly the same amount dead, and another couple of dozen wounded. Thus began the American Revolution, on April 19th, 1775.

Here in Boise, I was fortunate enough to have witnessed Gov. Butch Otter sign a proclamation declaring April 19th to be Patriots' Day in Idaho. My adopted home state joins only nine others in officially recognizing this vital day in our history, a day that has been overshadowed by evil deeds committed on that same date. I urge everyone to write their state legislators and governors, asking them to recognize April 19th for what it is, and to restore some of the honor of that day.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I am afraid at present with weekend’s all over the place with dad in hospital I cannot commit to posting a thread but as soon as he is home I will jump back in.

At present a dear friend has invited me to his home for at least one evening each weekend for some company so this has meant that I am out of the picture at present.

Thanks for jumping in
