Well stay safe form tha volcano.
I updated my Norton anti-virus software this morning. This was an update that was released yesterday. Today is the regular weekly update. Be sure to downooad them when they arrive.
Did some lawnmowing this mroning. Rain's in the forecast for tommorow. Hoefully it'll clear off in time for our town's "Fallfest" this weekend.
How's it going with you, snippy?

Starting the day off mowing? You must be a morning person.
Things are hectic but going well here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.

We have localized rain, Oregon City is the only place reporting it.
Reports on the volcano are pretty much, "Don't worry too much about it"

You HAVE to listen to Laura Ingrahm today. Her opening segment comments on the Sunkist kecthup boy are hilarious.

IMHO the Sov's knew after their defeat in Afghanistan that they could not defeat the Poles, if the Poles chose to resist, which appeared likely.
I believe the defeat in Afghanistan is extremely important to understanding the failure to stop Solidarity, allowing the Lithuanians to spin off and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The Sov's were a country with an economy the size of The Netherlands trying to win an arms race and fight a Vietnam-type war and it severely damaged the Red Army and their economy. The Red Army's later failures in Chechnya revealed the extent of the damage.

Looking back on the 70's in relation to the Cold War and the Army seems like a bad dream. Jimmuh and the Dims encouraged the Sov's to go on the offensive wherever they could. In the Army, we were short of people, parts and working tanks. It's hard to describe to people who didn't live through it just how much a breath of fresh air Ronald Reagan was.

I like Foghorn Leghorn! We've been feeding the local ducks. Oh and Sam leaves peanuts out for the jays.
