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)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Finally, Connie, the work day is over. Hope yours went well, and no ducks in the pool. *HUGS*

Thank you for the red, white, and blue Tribute To Our Troops.

Leaving here shortly. Need to stop at the store. Then an evening mostly to myself. No homework and no theads. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Honoring Our Fallen

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....ML snags the silver!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Dave bags the bronze!!

[ConorMacNessa]

David is doing well, thanks very much. We had him to his Primary Care Physician today - all clear. His cheek is quite swollen - lacerations inside. This guy really cleaned his clock.

The perp is charged with Assault in the second degree, which in Maryland means assault without a firearm. Trial is set for 1July2013 at 0845 in that Citadel of Justice, the District Court of Maryland for Prince George's County located in beautiful downtown Hyattsville, Md.

Maximum penalty: imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $2,500.00, or both. I don't know whether this guy has any priors - if not, he'll probably walk.

We can hope....pictures of David’s injuries will help, I hope.

Glad David is doing better. Prayers continuing for the whole family.

I am off for home with a short store stop.

Hi Kathy & thank you for this evenings thread of our finest! *Hugs*

Your leaving this early? Great time of day!:)

An evening mostly to yourself is a good thing...a very good thing.

I’m making some veggies a friend grew in their garden just for myself this evening. The boys will have to fend for themselves...harsh! LOL

I have got to make time to put all my *stuff* on this new computer. I’m working with bare bones here, no birthday list, usual post codes etc. Hopefully this weekend.

Drive safe!

[AZamericonnie]

So glad David is on the mend Conor & hope the perp recieves the punishment he is due! *Hugs*

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Mayor! Thank you so much for the daily lesson. I've probably been that guy up in front - I know I've been the guy in back many times.

Incidents like that, and the response "I'm Sorry, man!" say a lot about what we are as civilized people, irrespective of our persuasion.

May the Lord give me the Patience to indulge my fellow man as he gropes for the Truth, as I hope he will indulge me.

[Kathy in Alaska]

New computer??? What did you get?

Getting stuff on a new one is lots of fun....not!

I emailed all my codes to myself. Then I had the same ones at work and on my laptop and they were all the same. Sorta like copying the thread codes to you and me.

It’s always fun not knowing that something is missing until you need it. d:o)

Happy veggie dinner!

Leaving early has its problems....like being stuck in traffic...like tonight.
