I made it back to WF without hitting any storms. Course I heard about those storms before leaving Hillsboro so I came the western route. Came through Stephenville just after the storms though.

Ya'll okay over there? WBAP was having t'storm warnings and TORNADO warnings ALL the way home for Ft. Worth and I know they were all headed NE.

Well after 7 plus days straight of work, I am supposed to be off tomorrow. I won't be answering the phone tomorrow that's for sure :-)

A couple more B-29 pics for the troopers of the Foxhole.

I'm sorry . . . did that read "American press" called it a success? Must have been an anomaly.

Different times, plus they had a Socialist Democrat as President. ;-)

Evening Phil Dragoo.

The Cockpit/nose of the B-29 remindes me of the He-111. IMHO way too much glass in front of the pilot/co-pilot when getting shot at.

We should decapitate the Iranian regime immediately. Should they assemble nuclear weapons they will strike first in an asymmetrical manner.

AMEN!!

No kidding. How could I forget . . . as recently as 1998 with Clintoons Operation Desert Fox (30 day bombing campaign against Saddams WMDs). And then Clintoon's relentless bombing of the Balkens to remove Milosevic - hey, perfectly understandable. No wonder the butt snakes of the MSM are so despised.

Well, I'm gonna make like Valin and hit the hay. Tell, Ms. Snip to get her rest too.

I attempted to do a network "printer share" between my laptop and desktop. If you felt tremers yesterday afternoon...

So that was you. :-)

Hope the golf game was more successful.
