Lucky ducks!
I’ll have to toddle off and start getting ready for work. I’m so glad it’s Friday!!
In high school I once got int trouble on Memorial Day. I was tte Drum Line Captain and one of my duties was to call the cadence to keep us moving fast or slow. Well, it had been raining and was threatening to rain again as we marched from the last parade stop back to the shool.
The band uniforms were VERY expensive and old wool things (even in summer)that were''nt supposed to get wet. We were halfway back when lightning flashed and rain started to fall. We had bee marhcing slowly to a very somber cadence. Everyone loioked at me because we all knew hte uniforms would be ruined. So I made hte decision to step up to a faster cadence.
Boy did I get a new one chewed out when we got back! I can't remember exactly what but I had to serve some kind of punishemnt.
I laugh about it now but it made me fell pretty bad back then.
Of course today the bands play salsa music and up beat cadences on Memorial Day all the time!.

Notice that there were no American Flags anywhere during Zeewoe’s 1st presser after 10 months?? I cannot ever remember that happening all the way back to LBJ.
re #6: Nope, I’m at work now....ahhhh...I’d love to sneak by to sneakers house and fill her potatoes with some good dirt...just to surprise her too. A bit fer though for an 800 mile round side-trip.
Just don’t call me late for dinner!
Then I may quit writing history and just produce movies. I find that more fun---let's see if I can make any money at it.
Wow, what a sleepless night of tossing and turning!
Mornin’ everybuddy and make it a GREAT weekend!
Good Morning.
Quinn’s remarks on Memorial Day are very moving. My screen is getting blurry.
If any of you you missed it ............. what a bummer.
And to all of you real haters here (on this thread) who despise my remarks, no matter what they may be ........... I PRAY that you heard Jim. You may have needed it.
They should be ashamed of themselves.

You are so correct. (This IGNORANT AD of which you speak was at least as reprehensible as the repeated ads around Christmas that implore people that it is the time to SPEND and SPEND money ----- what a terrible tragedy.
(No, I don't at all expect a reply from you. I am aware you have your limitations.)
Good Morning,
on the beach in NC.
Listening. Can’t get a dependable link.
Hey sneaks.
Tomorrow, June 1st, the Joyce Kaufmann Show will be having Allen West on between 12 and 3 est. Shall I post a live thread?
He is usually on for an hour. The show originates from S. Florida.

Blast! I don’t know if I can listen. Will there be a podcast? I think posting a live thread is a great idea. You will have to compete with Rush though, unless he has a guest host.
Lt Col West is a great man and a great American. A lot more people need to hear him!
If I can get a decent stream, I’ll rip the audio.
