79 Mount Vesuvius, east of Naples, Italy,
erupted and buried Pompeii

On this Day in History
410 Rome was overrun by the Visigoths , led by King Alaric; although no longer the official capital city, Rome's fall to Alaric symbolized the end of the Western Roman Empire

What do you mean "what happened to Barney"? Have you heard something? I sure haven't! I know sometimes they just don't get pictures of him. There were some cute ones on the Dose the other day--did you see those?

Some had only gone the first leg or two of the journey and couldn't continue all the way so dropped out. Originally, I think Jim and Sheila were only going to Vacaville and back -- same with Syncro -- but they all decided to go all the way!! As the Spirit moved them!!

Awesome sunset, Tonkin! Is that just a random picture...because it looks sort of like the new bridge in Charleston.

How're the inspections going? Are there plenty of them?

Oh! Thus be it ever when free men shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just
And this be our motto "In God is Our Trust"
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Free men and women will stand in Crawford, Texas.....and the cause it is just.

Yeah Byron always wants me to buy the most expensive stuff for his mom. And I can't blame him. After this last year she deserves it.
