Come on, Kerry.....attend a NASCAR race. Show up for the adoring crowds. LOL!

Really sad to see Spain give in to the the terrorists. Not a good thing. Now the terrorists know they can intimidate a whole country. So sad.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, ms feather, for the Canteen Blessing for the Troops.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Aeronaut and Otto, and thank you both for your dedication to the flyover of protection for our troops' Canteen, a place where we offer a "touch of home" for our troops, our veterans, their families, and our allies. Where are you off to next?

Good morning everyone!!

Please, ooooh, pleeeeeease don't tell us we have to memorize all this military short speak and that there'll be a test on it, Star. LOL!
This is really cool. Now everyone can understand this short speak when we see and hear it. Thanks to you, Sarge, Jinxie and Linda for putting this together!

To our troops, veterans, and military family members
THANK YOU for serving the USA!

Good morning and good night, Meekie. I'm saving my hot chocolate with marshmallows for later this morning.

[Aeronaut]

Where are you off to next?

Nothing scheduled. They hired an assistant, which should allow me to get out more (once she learns the ropes).

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my...you've been stuck in the office? Are you teaching the ropes?

[Aeronaut]

Oh my...you've been stuck in the office? Are you teaching the ropes?

Yes and yes.

[Kathy in Alaska]

radu....you've been missed. How are you feeling? Taking good care of your back?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hmmmm....teach fast and well so you can get out more. Good luck.

EUSTIS - Even Uncle Sam Thinks It Sucks!

I first encountered this acronym on my return from Viet Nam in 1968. I could not learn to spell the name correctly, so a clerk informed me of the easy way to remember it.
It’s still in use today. I wonder when it started?

[radu]

Hey tom. Looky who showed up in the back yard again tonight! LOL!

We've seen the critter out by the barn several times but never had the camera handy. When I came in from tending big tree debris fires tonight, I spotted it through the kitchen window and grabbed the camera and flashlight.
The kitty-kat seems to be used to me now and didn't do it's lil "threat dance", so my hand wasn't shaking this time. LOL! Got some pretty good shots. I could've almost reached out and touched it when I took this one, I was so close. I'm gonna get in trouble one of these days, messin' with this critter. *giggle*

You'd better come and get your kitty-kat or I'm gonna lay claim to it. We're becoming buddies. ROTFLOL!
