Easy on those drums this early!
Night Owls gotta get sleep sometime! LOL!
It's a nice sunny coolish [75°] day.
Maybe I'll even DO something constructive.
Or not.
Decisions only after my TEA! ;)
All y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
(((hugs)))

While attending Electronics schools at the Marine Recruit Depot in San Diego I noticed that the photos of WWII classes were all of obvious American Indian ethnicity. At the time I was unaware of Navaho “code talkers.”
When the schools moved from MCRD to 29 Palms those photos disappeared. I never saw them again.
The “code” was actually plain language Navaho though they had to use substitute words/phrases to convey technical/modern military jargon. For instance since there is no Navaho word for a “tank” the code talkers would use the agreed on Navaho word for “turtle.” Simple and direct the use of the Navaho language provided both speed and accuracy in radio communications without the need of complicated decoding equipment and any fear of enemy translation!
Good morning, E...((HUGS))...we got some welcome rain, too.
Glad you got rain, and glad your plumbing is almost all fixed.
You and Gizmo have a good Tuesday.
Good morning, ML...((HUGS))...you got your mud room just in time for mud. d:o)
Have a good Tuesday. Hope you and Penny can get out and walk.
We hope it does the same here when the system arrives later in the week. They say we’ll have wave after wave for three days and just rain will suit us fine.
BUT, if there’s a little lightning here and there, I’ll have the camera ready. LOL
Glad you didn’t get any. Having to reboot the router after big storms gets to be a pain after a while.
Wonderful. Thank you
Also there was a movie about the code talkers.
“Windtalkers”.
At least their heroic efforts will not be forgotten.
Wow! Stay safe, my FRiend!
Thanks!
I haven’t had a mud room since 1974! Finally.
Dad was III Amphib Corps Signal Battalion but while detached because of a wound, he spent some time on Guam typing letters for officers. He spent a lot of time with the Navajos. He is 93 today and he still talks about those men. From all I ever heard, they are as great American heroes as any in our whole history.
And you know, I rightly believe it!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Dude....ya took the BAIT! 😝
Oh my goodness, Publius...you have had 2 distinct adventures. Hope you are safely away from any flooding. How is it getting to and from work?
And finding more than you expected in the music adventure...what a find for you.
The floods happen at night when I’m safely ensconced in my apartment. No problems during the day.
Aweeeeeeeeeeeeee...boy, are you popular!!
