Good pictures Matt. Seemms every hundred years or so we have to stop them from trying to erase our civilizatioon and replace it with theirs.

In the 1800's the U.S. was the only country that decided to quit paying bribes to the Barbary Pirates and fight them. Typically france and most of the other European nations just paid them off.

Thanks for the history today. I think if a cow came into my camp, I would have eaten too.

Prayers of comfort for our grieving families this sad day. It sure is hard news to take.
