The morning commute went quite smoothly - about 45 minutes. The evening commute was almost disastrous - for the last three evenings a traffic light in a critical intersection has been short-cycling and the consequences were punishing. I managed to avoid major delays through my consummate knowledge of the local byways and brought the return trip home in under an hour.

The humidity is not bad yet but is supposed to crescendo through the remainder of the week. We've had intermittent rain yesterday and today.

All in all, things are going well with us here.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

SoldierDad, thanks very much to your son for his service. The wrongheaded policies that prevent his re-enlistment are damaging our National Security. Please tell him to keep his powder dry! He will almost certainly do so without any prompting from me or anyone else. Just let him know, from a 'Nam Vet, that we are with him now and that we will be with him and our Beloved Nation for the long fight!

Good evening, SD...I'm sorry that Robert was not able to reenlist. More trouble for the country is coming. Losing those with experience will take us further downhill.

Please thank him for his service to our country.

God bless all our Canteen heroes! And, indeed, ALL our heroes around the world!

Remembering them always!

Said to a mom of 2 navy personnel...”Please thank them for me”. She really lit up. :)

Thank You, Connie.

I am not superstitious, but THREE really big things happened to me all at once:

First Lillian died (and all that went with that)

Then my car needed $800.00 worth of work or else it wouldn’t go and i wouldn’t be able to work

Then Lynn-Dah got so sick I thought she was going to die too.

I am still a little shell shocked, but not too stunned to notice that Sunday would have been my 41st wedding anniversary if my dear Mike was still alive. Unfortunately, it is also Obumbo’s alleged birthday.

I, however, have an official certificate of Marriage, duly certified and carrying the Great Seal of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Long Form, from the State Archives. It only cost me $67.00 to obtain..just asked for it and there it was. I needed both that and my Birth certificate to renew my drivers license last year.

Not only have my Mom’s people been here since the 1840’s, fought in the Civil War, WW1, WW2, and Korea, but my Dad’s People have been here since before the Vikings discovered America.

Nevertheless, there are more illegals driving around Florida than there are citizens. How do they get THEIR licenses renewed?

You can’t make this stuff up.

Sorry for the rant! LOL!

Rant away Dearheart...you’ve earned it!

Quite the prestigious background & laws are only for the law abiding right? ;-}

Thank you, Conor. I completely agree with your assessment. I will pass along to him your words. From what he’s told me, he intends to join a National Guard unit, working full time with same pay and benefits he receives now. His goal is to promote up and then try to reenlist in the regular Army. We’ll see how that goes. He and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you in this long fight.

Laws? We Don’t need no STEENKING Laws! LOL :-)

My sister recently rejoined the tribe and they remembered our branch of the family that had moved to Gloucester and took up with the commercial fishing fleet.

For years, we didn’t know about them,
But they knew about US. LOL!
