The bride and I are headed for San Diego in the morning. It is time for our 40th high school reunion. Where does the time go?

I was reading in the paper today there was an article about two illegal mexicans driving around a neighborhood stealing anything they could from open garages and unlocked sheds. Found out this was my neighborhood. My buddy across the street saw four cop cars in front of his house this AM. It appears this is where they stage the arrest.

God Bless our troops

‎31 lost, 31 unwanted visits, 31 doors receive that dreaded knock, 31 families with shattered hearts, 31 pairs of boots lined up with rifles and dog tags and helmets, 31 comrades remembered and grieved for, 31 funeral services, 31 names on newly made grave markers, 31 empty places at the table, 31 souls who gave all, whose lives leave a void, so let's take 31 seconds to re-post this and pause to reflect on such a sacrifice as 31 gone forever

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." --Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787
