Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Aloha kakahiaka Doc!
Seeing that pic of Gen. Tyron reminds me of my first encunter with a Marine General. It was at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey while awaiting my class to start at DLI. We were not required to salute any officers in passing since the enlisted were out numbered 1500 to 80 and we'd all be worn to a frazzle before 0800 if we did; the exception was flag rank officers.
So heading the exchange one morning, I spotted a Marine Officer heading my way, in green A's with black insignia and got within two paces of him before noticing three stars on his blouse......and snapped a salute and a cheery Good Morning. He stopped me and asked what took so long, you're required to salute from three paces?
I said I've never seen a Marine General Before, Sir. .......He said "Good Morning, now get the hell out of here!"

Good afternoon, Mac...*HUGSW*...red shirt on. Always!
Thank goodness Friday finally got here....been swamped today so far.
My IT guy came over last evening and put my new graphics card in my desktop....it lives!!
And we think he found, and fixed, the gremlins in my laptop keyboard. Settings for the touch pad were automatically set to super sensitive (after having to reformat the hard drive a month ago). As I typed, my hands touched the pad and it reacted to whatever the settings were. He found where to “unable” all the auto settings. I’ll give it another try tonight and see if that was the only problem.
