Good evening, Kathy!
*HUGS*
It's as cold as a well-digger's - Able Sugar Sugar!
A very smooth commute in this morning - got out early and encountered little traffic on the way in. On the way home I had a reasonably smooth trip with a couple of real scares at the beginning. Less than a block from the office, a couple of moronic pedestrians crossed against the light in front of a moving bus and me. We're talking about students at GWU. I was on the phone with Mrs. MacNessa - hands-free, of course, and the expletives that issued from my usually benign mouth shocked her.
A few minutes later, I entered Rock Creek Parkway, which is one way outbound from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The motorcycle police drove by and a few hundred yards up the road were two cars stopped that had been going southbound against the traffic. It's not even a full moon!
I'm resting with a nice Cabernet right now.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
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)

IN MEMORIAM
Capt. John J. McGinty, III, USMC (MOH)
Capt. John J. McGinty, III, USMC (MOH) 3rd Battalion, Fourth Marine Regiment Died 17 January 2014
"For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. 2d Lt. McGinty's platoon, which was providing rear security to protect the withdrawal of the battalion from a position which had been under attack for 3 days, came under heavy small arms, automatic weapons and mortar fire from an estimated enemy regiment. With each successive human wave which assaulted his 32-man platoon during the 4-hour battle, 2d Lt. McGinty rallied his men to beat off the enemy. In 1 bitter assault, 2 of the squads became separated from the remainder of the platoon. With complete disregard for his safety, 2d Lt. McGinty charged through intense automatic weapons and mortar fire to their position. Finding 20 men wounded and the medical corpsman killed, he quickly reloaded ammunition magazines and weapons for the wounded men and directed their fire upon the enemy. Although he was painfully wounded as he moved to care for the disabled men, he continued to shout encouragement to his troops and to direct their fire so effectively that the attacking hordes were beaten off. When the enemy tried to out-flank his position, he killed 5 of them at point-blank range with his pistol. When they again seemed on the verge of overrunning the small force, he skillfully adjusted artillery and air strikes within 50 yards of his position. This destructive firepower routed the enemy, who left an estimated 500 bodies on the battlefield. 2d Lt. McGinty's personal heroism, indomitable leadership, selfless devotion to duty, and bold fighting spirit inspired his men to resist the repeated attacks by a fanatical enemy, reflected great credit upon himself, and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service."
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." (1 Maccabees 3:5860)
"Eternal Father, Strong to Save" (Click)
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

It seriously pisses me off that Obama has set these men up and abandoned them.
