For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.

Support The United States Armed Forces today!!

Thank You TROOPS!
Dedicated to our TROOPS, and their rescue efforts in the face of disaster.

OMG! That is hilarious!

It sure does make me feel a little better.

As for the Aggies, The Sailor roots for them as well. He roots for all the Texas schools. I would normally root for them as well. He would normally root for Ohio State, but not this week.

In my defense, THE SAILOR STARTED IT.

He started it on Sunday morning when he woke me up with the Texas Longhorns fight song. Grrrr....

I got even by serving him scarlet colored (almost scarlet colored) scrambled eggs later in the morning.
