Yeah, I heard that on the radio and thought about commenting on it yesterday...

But, I'm sure it was just a fluke. Everyone knows the Coyotes will walk skate away with the Stanley cup this year!

LOL. We'll see.

But this sure is a tough year to make any Stanley Cup predictions.

[HiJinx]

Oh, well, that was a loyalty prediction, not based on talent, schedule, prowess, or record!

[Alberta's Child]

Air Power

DOUGLAS C-47D "SKYTRAIN"

Few aircraft are as well known or were so widely used for so long as the C-47 or "Gooney Bird" as it was affectionately nicknamed. The aircraft was adapted from the DC-3 commercial airliner which appeared in 1936. The first C-47s were ordered in 1940 and by the end of WW II, 9,348 had been procured for AAF use. They carried personnel and cargo, and in a combat role, towed troop-carrying gliders and dropped paratroops into enemy territory.

After WW II, many C-47s remained in USAF service, participating in the Berlin Airlift and other peacetime activities. During the Korean War, C-47s hauled supplies, dropped paratroops, evacuated wounded and dropped flares for night bombing attacks. In Vietnam, the C-47 served again as a transport, but it was also used in a variety of other ways which included flying ground attack (gunship) , reconnaissance, and psychological warfare missions.

Bless This House hummed along with this morning, twice because I love this song for our USO Canteen, and Prayer of Protection said for all who enter the USO Canteen Freeper Style, including our troops, our veterans, their families and our allies. Welcome to all who come to honor our troops, for whom this USO Canteen was created.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you

The love of God enfold you

The power of God protect you

The presence of God watch over you

Wherever you are, God is,

And all is well.

Amen.

Wherever you are, God is, And all is well.

Bless This House played again and Prayer of Protection said again. The office is madness this morning. Arghhhhh, my routine is all messed up! OK, I'm calm.
