Yep, when my sister and her family came to Germany to visit, I made a point of taking them by the bahnhof so they could see 15 or 20 Mercedes taxis lined up there....blows the mind.
Jythier: It was a good movie it just wasn't a true movie... Doc: The guy meant a lot to some of us...others were a little irked at his cheerfulness...:) Daiwa: He did stay in radio for a while but he did move on and he is fun to listen to.
I got up at 0400 (4:00 am to civilians...and for Marines it's when Mickey

We had a "peace dividend" in the 90s...then after DESERT STORM the was the big "draw down"...after Vietnam we did it, too...and a lot of really good troops will get flushed because of arbitrary discriminators.
I joined the Army in the summer of 1964. Even with the restrictions on physical activity because of the Spinal
I spent some time on a bike over there, too, Doc. Funny thing is that bikes DO have equal usage rights in Germany...but the car drivers don't care...and yep, you nailed it on the car vs house comment. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm sure you have done the same thing. &nb
No, they don't live long enough. While we were in Arizona in November, one of our dogs had to be put down. Don't know what happened to him, spider or snake or something he ate or what...but overnight he became totally incapacitated...Toothache had to do the deed for us, it was very sad to come home to him being gone.
Thanks, Doc. He was to me.
the boots are comfort shoes for me. Warm, comfy, supportive...and I have worn them all my adult life.
I remember you mentioning him before.

I had jury duty on Tuesday. I hadn't been to the courthouse for a few years and was surprised at the changes that had been made. First of all, they moved the entrance around the block...but they didn't move the juror parking lot so you have to walk twice as far as you used to. Security has been bumped up since the last time I was there, too. I had gone in early so I got a good spot in the jury parking lot and I went through security without too m

No doubt...

About the time I was getting started with the Fort Leonard Wood Saddle Club, in 1985, I got a new staff sergeant assigned to my instructor team. He was from Arizona; single, a tad on the wild side, and a very good NCO. I was shopping for a horse. I fell in love with a Leopard-Spot Appaloosa that was the sweetest, most beautiful horse ever. He was named Comanche and he was big and strong and so ruined by a string of idiots who had owned him that he
Every now and then a headline will grab you by the heart and you fill up with emotions you didn't think you had. When I heard that General Schwartzkopf had died this evening, it affected me that way. I haven't thought of the man for a few years at least. I was one of half-a-million soldiers who served under the lead of "Stormin' Norman". He was a real soldier; when he was put in charge, he took charge. Later, after he retired, he
Thanks, Mason...same back atcha...
The weather-guessers have been telling us for days that there was an increasing chance of snow Christmas eve and through into Christmas Day. Last night as we were loading the kiddies in the cars and giving and receiving Christmas hugs and wishes, the tiniest of flakes began to drift down. By the time we got the last of the grandkids secured and the doors closed and the motors started, the snow was falling in earnest. We do this eve
It was Baumholder that was the largest concentration of combat troops outside the USA...and your snowy night ride sounds pretty spooky, too. But the line about the cows just busted me up! :D.
