Thanks Johnny. Sure looks like a rip off of the B-1 bomber.

I remember reading something about the "feeding the multitudes" by multiplying doughnuts too.

Morning everyone. Sunny and 50 degrees in the Colorado foxhole.

It' hard for me to pick one favorite Steve McQueen movie, but among my faves are The Great Escape, Bullitt and the Getaway.

This thread reminds me of Friendly Persuasion, starring Gary Cooper, which is about an Indiana Quaker family whose menfolk have to face hard decisions about pacifism or fighting when the Confederates come raiding. Highly recommend.

Several years ago, I hurt a knee while backpacking. When to the doc, got x-rays, etc. Never did figure out what really happened.

Doc finally said, well, you getting a little older, but it's better than the alternative.

Liked "Shenandoah" too. (HThe Foxhole has a thread on the Vally Campaign coming up)

I think the "Getaway", "Magnificent 7" and the "Thomnas Crowne Affair" are some of McQeens' best

Good Afternoon!

Tickets came from the Gettysburg Reenactment. Look forward to that.

Hate grits...

And finally... I bought a Beta Fish (Japanese Fighting Fish). It had lost a fin because it was in fight. I was deciding on a name... I thought... What do you name something that is all feathers and plumes and fights like the dickens...

Of course... JEB Stuart!

I, too, like the calvary men from the South...especially Stuart.

I'm getting another Beta. Yep, you guessed it.. going to name it George Pickett!

A beta Fish named JEB Stuart, I love it. :-)

I'd love to see the Gettysburg re-enactment, some day I'll get back East.

I cannot wait.

And remember (though I know you haven't forgotten) RE Lee's birthday is January 19th followed by Stonewall's birthday on January 21st.
