Good morning, or good afternoon all, depending on what time zone you are in...for me its still morning....

Quite an upheaval over the weekend, concerning FR, JimRobinson, BADJOE, Palos decisions about staying or leaving, etc. etc.etc....as someone said in a movie, tho I cannot remember which one or who said it, but he said, "May you live in interesting times"...well, it seems we are living in interesting times, right here on FR....(if anyone knows where that quote comes from, please let me know, my addled brain cannot remember, and its driving me crazy)

As to Grans marvelous question to JimRob, good going Gran...very astute of you....do not have time now to read the whole thread, and everyones posts, but will do that in a little while...I am not really 'political' either, as Gran has put it, just know what I believe in...that thread will be read later on today, when I have a little more time...

BigDom has just returned a few moments ago, from his big weekend up in Tacoma....he had a great time, eating Barbque, with the Vets, at the Amvets shindig, and got to see some great antique cars....gave him a chance to shmooze with his fellow military vets....he quite enjoys that, as he has so little free time, what with being involved with working so much at the trusty post office, and then taking me places, helping me drink beer, eat treats, and break chairs, and whatever else mischief we can get into...

So a weekend alone, without me, and with his fellow military vets, is indeed a pleasure for him...

He then proceeded on to the biker bar, and schmoozed with the bikers, and hoisted a few with them...no problems whatsoever....

Yesterday he spent recuperating from his Saturday fun...he just watched his sports and relaxed...his big sports thrill yesterday, with the Little League World Championship, which USA won, with Louisville, Ky beating Japan 1-0...Go USA...it was a great game, with some great little players...its always heartbreaking for the side which looses...as was evidenced by the whole of the Japanese team in tears...but we must always remember, even tho these games are telecast on national TV, and even tho these players do try to act tough, underneath it all they are still children....and you could not help but be so proud to see Louisville win, but at the same time, be saddened by the sight of the whole Japanese team crying....lessons of childhood often come hard, in order to prepare us for adulthood...and losing such an important game, teaches one of lifes hardest lessons...that often, defeat precedes success, in whatever endeavor one may try....but that on another day, the outcome of the game may have been different...Kudos to all the Little League players and to their coaches for giving us all a thrilling game....

On the subject of our dear Palo...I hope she returns...I miss my fix of daily Lulu reports....of how Happy and 'he'(Bill) are doing....of what is going on in Palos life....
