My on base housing was a berth on the Saipan. Uncle Sugar and I parted ways in 1983, so I imagine a lot of stuff is different now.

My BIL, well, ex BIL now, has a meat grinder, electric smoker and all sorts of things to make the sausage making easier. When he lived across the road at Sister's he always raised two pigs a year. Most years he named them Ham and Porkchop.

By Great Lakes I meant the navy base. I was just up there for a few months of training, so never lived off base. My friends and I did to Milwaukee pretty often. As cities go, it wasn't a bad one.

Edward Teach had a cameo in my international trade/adventure stories. In my story his beard was prematurely gray and he had to use boot black on it. You know I kind of like icon erosion.

There was only three years that I lived anywhere other than the Sandhill and my wife's house in town. Uncle Sugar had everything to do with that. After short stays in Orlando and Great Lakes, I spent the rest of the time in VA. But it's funny that when I was on the Saipan, living in Norfolk...

My river feeds the Dead Lakes, which are about 20 feet ASL. I doubt I will live long enough to see them become brackish. But the rate of sea level rise is increasing, and I am pretty healthy, so you never know. . . . . It's been a long time since I have been to the south end of the state. My...

Back by popular demand. Hey everybody. Today on the Sandhill it was windyAF. It's less windy, clear, 67F at 1930. Our high/low today was 81/37F. Yesterday morning there was a good frost on the car, spotty on the ground. I doubt there was any this morning because of the wind, but I didn't go...

Donelle wants there to be huge protests so he can impose martial law.

REM 1989

Also tons of folks you have never heard of.

Anyone who has ever spent much time in Athens (the one in Georgia) knows this little spot brings in some big talent. REM had all four original members on stage there this weekend, so got me to thinking about a new thread. What the world needs now. . . . . .

Florida had it's state of the state speech today. Shorty didn't mention DOGE, but there has been talk of forming a Florida version of what Musk is doing. The reporter pointed out that the GOP has controlled Florida for 25 years, so all the waste, fraud and abuse would be by them. The MAGA base...

Another factor to think about with the Russian war dead. It has been reported that they are leaving lots of their dead on the field and reporting them as missing in action. This helps out in two ways. It keeps the official numbers (and graves back in Russia) down while letting them not pay death...

Those numbers are for total casualties. Both dead and wounded. The Russians ratio is 1:3, like ours in WWII. Using round numbers to make the mathing easier, 1M casualties would bread down to 250K dead and 750K wounded. For comparison of battle field medical, our two recent 20 year wars the dead...

If we don't arm Russia there is a good chance Ukraine could keep the 80% of their country they now control. Think of all the granny rape the red army will be deprived of.
