Did the saw get any work today?

The saw did not get any work today - nor did I. John-Man injured himself working out the other night - some muscle tears from pull-ups. I took him to Patient First where we spent most of the afternoon and he was prescribed strong medicines.

This evening Mrs. Mac Nessa and I had the distinct honor to attend the 10-year Anniversary Reunion of AbnSarge's Bushmasters. August 2005 they were hit in a car bomb incident in Iraq - 13 WIA's. Two of those WIA's were near KIA's - they get together every year on the anniversary of that day. This evening was the first time many of them have seen one another since that day.

A very emotional evening, to say the least. I was most impressed by the young men I met this evening.

I am prepared to give my life in their defense."
