Good evening Laplata & great to see you!

A good week for you thus far? *Hugs*

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Laplata! Great to see you this evening! One of many fine renditions of our National Anthem. This one is close to my heart, being of Irish descent.



"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[laplata]

And a good evening to you, AZamericonnie.

Yes, I’ve had a great evening, thank you.

I just got home from a gathering with Larry Pratt, the head of Gun Owner’s of America. He’s in our town supporting the recall effort we have going to get rid of one of our RINO gun grabbers.

Have a great evening!

[laplata]

Be safe, Conor.

[ConorMacNessa]

ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM?



THANK YOUR VETS . . .



. . . AND YOUR SERVING MILITARY!!

THEY HAVE OUR SIX!!!!

Good on you!

Did you see this today?

It was a long day, but allowed me to find several fairly big errors, unlike last week where we didn’t get edits at all. A couple folks last week got paid double. They have been notified that they can keep the money, but their next checks will be short.

I worked at work til 8p and then til almost 2am at home. But I feel better knowing I got to check a lot of my units. Fewer corrections after the fact.

Shorts, sippy cup in hand, and my Mom is going to make fried potatoes. Yum!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Bless them all.

For sure, Sand, for sure. Did you and Maddi have a good day? How is her crawling coming along? ((HUGS))

[laplata]

Very good! Thanks for sharing.

[ConorMacNessa]

Always, Laplata! Except for those times when the warp spasm shakes me and I charge down the path forged by my Celtic forebears!

That hasn't happened lately - probably for the best. In any event, must seek rest now - getting late on the Right Coast. See you on the morrow! All the best, Brother

!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Too true...we must not forget them.
The enemedia seems to have completely forgotten them.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[luvie]

They have. They risk their lives and no one...but us patriots...seem to think about what they're doing.

Bad explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas!

Please pray for the people there.

Nice commute...timing is everything. And arriving in a good mood is always nice.

We have lots of red light runners. I never trust a red light for the other guy.

[The Mayor]

Good evening & thank you!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers on the way for all those involved in the plant explosion.

Sure is windy and LOTS of flashing red lights at the ball field.

[luvie]

They are having high...30mph average...winds and the EMS director is saying 60-70 dead possibly. Horrific!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for our National Anthem....singing along.
