Steve is watching some movie about a devil or vampire or something in snow storm. Yikes, not my cup of tea! It's over in a few minutes, I'll got to bed then...

I got the rest of the lawn mowed! The yard looks great.

My other neighbor (a cranky old "Greatest Generation" democrat) asked me if he could trim our poke salad plant down a bit...embarrassed me greatly. It was indeed huge, but not in his yard! It looks like a big weed, though and it was right by his front fence. So I mentioned it to Steve...asked him to cut it down. Well, I got in hot water for that, I tell ya! He was sure mad. But he knew I had a point...so he cut most of it down.

He loved that big old weed, though...it had huge blue/purple berry clusters on it and the blue birds love to eat it.

That is the only place in our yard that isn't privacy fenced, now...a 20' section. Someday we need to get that done, but not now.

Hey 2J!

My dad was a "greatest generation" Republican.

He volunteered at the age of 18, 1943, went into the IV division, US Army, landed ahead of even the first wave at Utah (Normandy) with a radio, fought in the Hedgerows, helped liberate Paris, from there fought in perhaps the bloodiest battle in the ETO, Hurtgen Forest, after that, the Bulge, then right on into Germany, including time occupying Dachau. By the time the IV got through Germany, their casualty rate was over 200%.

Dad remained anti-leftist and Conservative his whole life, which is now ended. FWIW.

So please don't take too seriously a leftist member of the "greatest generation" of which there were many. Cause there were also many on the side of truth.

My apologies, friend,
