You're welcome Mayor. Wish him good luck from the Foxhole.
Tenet is finally gone!!!
I don't think you adopt birds, you just get them. ;-)
Good to hear that. We're expecting a "hat wave" for the next couple of days and then rain by the weekend. Of course, it's the start of Rose Festival.
hat = heat. duhhhh!
And there I was thinking that you had an interesting community custom of gathering and waving your hats!
SCHWEINFURT AM MAIN. Around the middle of April 1945, I was on an Infantry T-Force to take over factories, maybe before records could be destroyed. Actually I didn't think the factories were that damaged. The factory I was at was Fichtel & Sachs. We opened their safes, counted money and sorted records. I still have a small souvenir slide rule. We left shortly after Roosevelt died. Next Nurnburg.
LOL! My fingers don't type as fast as I'm thinking.;-)
Must proof-read before hitting post.
Once again thank you for your service in freeing my mother's country from the Nazi's.
I've read in a few books on strategic bombing that in a lot of cases the bombing while damaging buildings left the machine tools intact. The Germans cleaned up the debris and recovered the tools. They were also very good at recovering from the damage enough to keep production going in a lot of cases. Production figures for tanks and planes actually went up in 1944, their main problem was transporting the finished goods and putting fuel in the tanks.
Hey Sam.
Good morning Aeronaut.
Morning EGC.
LOL. No takers at the Foxhole!
Good morning feather. Just a quick peek in at the Foxhole and then Sam and I have to run out for a little while this morning.
It seems not, but I've got a nibble from someone on the North Carolina board! If this doesn't fly, as it were, I'll try to Cub Scouts and the homeschool association.

Five airmen represent Air Force on ‘Family Feud’
by Airman 1st Class Matthew Dillier
Air Force Flight Test Center Public Affairs
2/6/2004 - EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AFPN) -- Five airmen here participated along with members from other military services on the “Family Feud” game show taped Jan. 31 in Los Angeles.
Air Force contestants included Capt. Robert Wagner, from the Air Force Flight Test Center judge advocate general's office; Master Sgt. Jim Gantar, 95th Mission Support Squadron first sergeant; Tech. Sgt. Daphne Soto, from the 95th Air Base Wing's military equal opportunity office; Staff Sgt. Teddy Deshazier, noncommissioned officer in charge of Air Force Special Operation Command’s Detachment 1 information management; and Airman 1st Class Holly Frost, a 95th Aerospace Medicine Squadron optometry technician.
Teams competed against each other in a round-robin style format. The shows are scheduled to air in May during Armed Forces Week.
"It's awesome and exciting to be able to compete and try to win some money," Sergeant Gantar said. "It was a lot of fun."
To Airman Frost, competing under pressure was a highlight.
"It was a rush to think fast, and (it was) a good experience," she said. "I think this is the first time I've had to think so fast on my feet like this."
Captain Wagner agreed and added it was a unique environment to compete in.
"It was great, because although we were competing against each other, we were also rooting for each other," he said.
According to Master Sgt. Paul Firman, Air Force Entertainment Liaison Office superintendent, this is another way to showcase the Air Force.
"Fewer and fewer Americans have personal military experience, meaning more and more Americans lack an understanding of today's Air Force,” Sergeant Firman said. “According to a recent survey, 52 percent of adult Americans gain their perception of the military primarily from TV and movies. That's exactly why it's important the Air Force works with the entertainment industry and use entertainment products, such as ‘Family Feud,’ to inform Americans -- and audiences all over the world -- about our nation's Air Force and its people."
Sara Dansby, the show’s contestant producer, felt the military shows were successful.
"I think they're some of the best shows we've ever done. It had a very patriotic feel and at this time in our lives, with all that's going on in the world, it's a great show to have," she said. "It's just our way of saying thanks to the men and women of the armed forces. We think it will have a huge impact and we are looking forward to doing it again."
