Good morning to you, beachn. I was just trying to keep things jovial ;)

On a sadder note, my hometown lost a hero this past Monday during training exercises at 29 Palms Marine Combat Training Center. Private First Class Casey Holmes, a 2011 graduate from Chico High School was killed during training maneuvers for pre-deployment training. He was stationed in Hawaii, according to this article. They didn't provide his Marine regiment.

OMG! That is so sad. God Bless him.
