A good day, thanks! It's been threatening rain here all day as well - I wish it would go ahead - the pollen is ferocious today!

My favorite TV show? Hard to say, there have been so many great ones since I started watching over sixty years ago.

One great one that stands out is the British miniseries "Tinker Tailor, Soldier, Spy" with Alec Guinness. After many years, I finally broke down and bought the DVD recently.

Another fave - "Fawlty Towers."

Going way back to childhood, "Ramar of the Jungle" - Jon Hall.

FREEDOM ISN’T FREE! _________________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________________

It Is Purchased With The Blood Of Patriots! _________________________________________________________________________________________


“Freedom Isn’t Free”

By Cdr. Kelly Strong USCG (ret)

I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease.
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He’d stand out in any crowd.


Eternal Father, Strong to Save
(Click)


I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers’ tears?
How many pilots’ planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers’ graves?
No, freedom isn’t free.


Taps
(Click)


I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant “Amen,”
When a flag had covered a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.



I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives,
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington,
No, freedom isn’t free.

I’ve been watching Downton Abbey via Amazon Prime, and it’s very entertaining. I like British drama. :)

I haven't been watching much TV lately. I'm not familiar with the Downton Abbey series, although my sister and her husband enjoy it. The last BBC material I can recall watching was the Sharpe's Rifles, etc.

Before that, I enjoyed Poldark, I Claudius, Brideshead Revisited, and others.

So much of what is on the Tube now is to my mind total garbage. I'd rather find my recreation elsewhere, like here.
