I am proud to be...
an American!
And proud to support our military!

You Betcha, Mama Bear! Makes me want to break out in song.

Shooting for 107 today in the northern end of The Big Valley. We may set a record this week for most consistent days over 100. Cool - Well, not really.

We get to sit around in air conditioned comfort complaining about the high electric bills we're gonna get, but our troops don't have that luxury.

May GOD Bless and Protect them, One and All is our prayer.

You're right. I am blessed to be born under the protection of our Constitution and our great military. When I find myself complaining, I think about our troops in their combat gear in the searing desert heat and the dust storms, with the danger they face every minute, day and night, and being separated from their loved ones....and I realize I have nothing at all to complain about. On top of all that, they aren't paid a fraction of what they should be paid for what they are doing over there.

That being said, this heat wave we've been having could break any time, and I would be delighted. :-)
