Sam pointed out the "bee" was too big to be a bee. ;-)
LOL. What? She doesn't like our taste in clothes?
Or would have, if our education system taught about him.
Thanks for the history lesson Snippy. I'm glad to learn of this fine man.
Jack Schmitt astronaut biography
Where on the Moon is Jack Schmitt's Hammer?
One of the last things that Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt did while on the surface of the moon at the end of the last lunar EVA of the Apollo program was to throw their one and only Geology hammer off into the distance. Where did the only Geology Hammer ever to be carried on the moon by a professional Geologist actually end up?
ROFL. Thanks for the report.
Nor mine. I keep finding spitup on my shirts while getting dressed for work in the morning. LOL
You're welcome.
Neat. We just looked at the pictures and Sam is singing "If I had a hammer", with his own made up words, as is his way. ;-)
LOL. And the Lord said, "Snippy, you'll never be able to handle it, no kids for you!"
He is the giver of wisdom. :-)
I found my St. Christopher medal a little while ago. It's been MIA for 3 years!
patronage of things related to travel and travellers, people who carry things, etc.
Now you are free to travel about safely and carry babies. :-)
What? No fine for littering?
In 1778, Pulaski organized an independent corps of cavalry and light infantry known as the Pulaski Legion. It is reported that he spent $50,000 of his own money to help train and equip his troops.
Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

All I can think of is it falling on Ted Kennedy the pickled quisling.
Or perhaps Patrick Leahy winner of the Jerry Whitworth Aid & Comfort Award.
Casimir Pulaski by Henry Dmochowski Saunders
In the absence of Dr. James Metts, the Chatham County Coroner and head of the Pulaski DNA Investigation Committee, Francis X. Hayes reported on the status of the DNA search. The search conducted in Poland by genealogist Dr. Andrzej Sikorski has yielded results in the form of living female relatives of Pulaski's grand-niece Teresa Witkowski. These women are descended from Pulaski's sister Joanna Walewska in a matrilineal (mother-daughter) manner. Therefore, their mitochondrial DNA should match Casimir Pulaski's. At this time their identities are being kept confidential while Dr. Sikorski arranges to obtain their consent for DNA testing. Up to now these women had no idea they were related to the Pulaski family.
General Casimir Pulaski Rides Again ~ November 30, 2003
DNA evidence to establish that the remains, which were discovered in the Pulaski Monument, are undeniably those of Pulaski, will be available later this summer.
The City of Savannah, Georgia has determined that it must postpone the Brig. Gen. Casimir Pulaski Reinterment and Funeral until 2005. City officials have explained that the decision was necessitated by the fact that this summer, Savannah will be the host site for the G-8 meeting, an event which has evoked strong demonstrations in previous host cities, requiring heightened security at budget-busting costs. The resulting costly expenditures will leave no funds for handling the Pulaski funeral.
My modest proposal is to tell Jacque Chirac and Gerhard Schroeder to go Cheney themselves--thus making the funds available for Pulaski.
Yes, that's the thing.

And this just in:
We went to a minor league baseball game this evening.
The National Anthem was played by a guy using a handsaw and violin bow. Very cool.
We unfortunately had to leave in the bottom of the 3rd when spiderboy started feeling bad. He waited until we were at the door in the garage before letting fly. ;-(
I might need a St. Patrick medal too. He's the patron saint for engineers.
All I can think of is it falling on Ted Kennedy the pickled quisling.
LOL! I'd pay to see that.
Thanks for all the info on Pulaski. Nice to see so many satues in his honor here in the States.
LOL! Love the "Tyrants for Kerry" graphic.
I hope Spiderboy was just suffering from too many ball park hotdogs.
Handsaw and a violin bow? That had to be different.
That's the last time I let Snippy pick out baby clothes.;-)
