    I was unable to see the game this year, but I saw the the run by Fagot on that unintended fake. That was awesome to see and his interview after the game was just pure joy from him. I am happy for that young man. What a lifelong memory he will have to tell people. 

    And will make him an Admiral.

  2.  Going to HEB I wear one. Shit, it is a piece of face covering. It is not NBC masks (MOPP 4 sucks). Weighs nothing and people cannot see when I curse them silently for being in the middle of an aisle. Wear to stop the spread. Pretty simple.

    Will probably be more similar to Chechen 2 but without the Islamic insurgents.

     

    Not so fast my friend. Remember the Balkan Muslims remember Russian support for the Serbs. 

    Kosovo and Albania have voiced readiness to participate in any potential US-led mission in Ukraine, as fears of a Russian invasion mount. Their neighbours, Montenegro and North Macedonia, are yet to comment.

  4. I just received this from my father. It is from my Great Uncle's journal about sailing into Pearl on the Northampton on the 8th. My father has the original, but damn hard to read. He retyped it up and has had it in his files. Thought I would share. It is pretty interesting overall. 

    At about six A.M. in the morning of the eighth, the Northampton steamed into Pearl
    Harbor. I don’t have to tell you what it looked like or how it smelled of death. Some
    men and some ships still burned. You’ve probable seen or read about it millions of times.
    I do want to tell of a man, the old boatswain of the division, Paul was his name, as I said
    before. There were tears in his eyes, as we all looked wide-eyed at the sight before us.
    He had served on a lot of those old battleships that now lay on the bottom, with there
    masts still high out of the water and the flags still flying at the top of the mast. Yes, there
    were tears in his eyes as we looked at the ships on our way to the mooring point. Tear
    that I cannot explain to you, but any guy that has been in the Navy as long as the
    boatswain would know. I was still a boot then but it didn’t take long to make me s salty
    as the next guy in this mans Navy. Even if I have only five years, I think I have a lot of
    these second class shore base salties, beat by a mile.
