"Please, sir, may I have more?"... Living on the edge of a swamp opens us up to visits from a myriad of critters. This little guy, a juvenile raccoon, his mom, and 3 siblings come by every morning and evening for goodies. Tonight's menu was dog food and some yummy marshmallows
@MrPitbull07 As a vet, you always hope you perform your duties as expected. Muscle memory and training helps, but you r e a l l y don't know how you'll respond until you're in the mix. I've seen very competent "garrison soldiers" fail while "dirtbags" excel. Fascinating stuff.
@CAT1PRO When we got married, my wife asked that for our 50th anniversary I buy her a '55 Indian Chief (the 55's are special). Anyway, we're 32 yrs into our marriage. Sadly, my wife can no longer ride (we rode all over the US back in the day & I miss her presence). Here's to 18 more!
@GuntherEagleman As one who served in the 7th Cavalry (4/7 Cavalry, 2nd Infantry Div) the events at the battlefield & knowing the history of the Indian Wars, I was both proud & ashamed. A trooper's job is to carry out the orders of our political leaders. We can only hope that they are deserving.
@LiberalAchaean@GuntherEagleman You're not wrong. History has shown again and again that the power with the best weaponry/plan/determination ultimately subjugates the weak. It's not unique to America, but an historical truth. Sadly, you either meet the challenge or you fall.
@TheNameofWar I remember that and the corresponding rise to power of Corizon Aquino. His death was the catalyst for change in the Philippines and "Cory" was the answer.
@nelmagene2010@atrupar I support attacking Iran. Having said that, the OP may be right. Politicians think that they can mitigate losses thru limited action . This despite ample evidence (Korea, Vnam, Afghan) that anything less than "total war" is a loss. Trump needed "total war". Now he's stuck.
@Godsx2023@fasc1nate as they should. The cop he murdered with a shotgun never lived to 84, as he did, and the two little girls left behind after their daddy was killed never got the chance to read letters from him as Nutter did from his mom. "Fuggim and feed him fishheads".
Life should mean life.
