Call me old-fashioned, but every Memorial Day requires a reading of poetry. One of the wife's favorites. I recently brought back photos from Arlington National Cemetery, where an old friend of mine, and his wife, are interred. She cried, said it looked so much like Flanders Fields.
Another FReeper has posted a poem here.

Hubby claims it is blue and that is what color the sky is supposed to be....Yeah but do you know WHY the sky is blue? Huh? Do ya? Huh? [sigh] Well if I must get into how the intensity of scattered light depends on the volume V of the scattering particles, distance r of the source from the scatterers, refractive indices n1, n2 of the scatterers and the ambient medium, wavelength l in medium n2, and the incident light's intensity Iinc... And how the scattered light intensity goes as (V^2/r^2)*l^(-4)*f(n1,n2), thus favoring the scattering of high-frequency (low-wavelength) electromagnetic radiation, resulting in the predominant scattered beam being in the blue-violet region of the visible light spectrum, which the human eye having a maximum detection efficiency at 570 nm, perceives as blue...
Daggone I didn't get enough coffee this morning. That's what I get for working when everybody else is off...

I'm still adjusting to the silence. After nearly 11 years of living within the flight pattern of DAFB (those C-5s are awesome) I find the silence deafening.
Other than that, we're loving it. We've met some real nice folks and Jax loves her new preschool/daycare

I know, that was mean of her wasn't it? It just shows I'm... dedicated... or demented.. or something like that. ;-)

Oh good deal... and you also don't have to worry about your shifty neighbors either.
