Happy it has cooled off today. I am a bit slow as happiness was yesterdays theme.

The father of a friend was a POW in the battle of the Bulge. The Russians came to liberate the camp and some did not like the direction the Russians were going so they ducked out and made it back to American lines. The camp disappeared behind Russian lines never to be heard form again.

Joe Beyrle is quite lucky.

Glad you got some heat relief, mountainlion.

I've heard this more than once. Glad some were able to get back to American lines.
