Word of the Day
beneficence \buh-NEFF-i-suhns\, noun:
The practice of doing good; active goodness, kindness, or charity; bounty springing from purity and goodness
From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence and abstinence.
--Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

[S]he had disseminated around her what seemed an involuntary aura of beneficence and goodwill.
--John Bayley, Elegy for Iris

On this Day in History 1781 British General Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown,
effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution. Pleading illness, Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony; his second-in-command, General Charles O'Hara, carried Cornwallis' sword to the American and French commanders. As the British troops marched out to surrender, the British bands played the song "The World Turned Upside Down."

On this Day in History 1812 One month after Napoleon Bonaparte's massive invading force entered a burning and deserted Moscow, the starving French army was forced to begin a hasty retreat out of Russia

Morning, Kathy. Thunderstorms in Ramadi! I didn't even recognize thunder when I heard it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sarge, good morning. ((HUGS)) How are you and your bike gonna manage after thunderstorms?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Re your earlier post to me-nope, I can't get any sound at all. My brother will be coming over in the next couple of days to try and get it figured out.

[Old Sarge]

I'm coated in mud right now. The bike doesn't have mud guards. And it looks liek we're about to get stormed on again.

I was alseep when it hit last night, the night shift tells me the lightning was wonderful to see, after nothing in the skies but incoming fire.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Looks good for a pre-bed snack. Thinking about sleeping in my bed rather that at my computer tonight. LOL!

[txradioguy]

Yeah all that moondust sand turns to into the worlds biggest mud bog in a real hurry.

[Kathy in Alaska]

As resourceful as you are, can you fashion mud guards? Or even still navigate ON your bike in the mud? Yikes! Always incoming....keep your head down, Sarge, and we'll keep the prayers coming for you and the kids, and all your fellow soldiers. How's the dish coming?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Watching yesterday's tivo....ust heard a story about the hispanic heritage celebration at Camp Casey. Camera work wasn't bad. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

spell check is my friend......just heard the story.

[txradioguy]

[Kathy in Alaska]

So how many, plus or minus 10, stories have we missed because no one told us you were behind the camera? LOL! What time is the concert? No forgetting this time!

[txradioguy]

Concert starts at 7...still haven't decided if I'm going or not.
