this has nothing to do with Memorial day… A very good friend of mine asked me and my wife to watch his dogs when his brother in law isn’t over there.  We sort of have it arranged to let the dogs out and run around the yard when the bro in law ins’t home.  He […]

Am I less of a patriot if I don’t give two craps about memorial day?  But that isn’t the real QOD either, Because well it’s not true that I don’t give 2 craps.  I sort of take that back.  I propose we have seperate but equal Memorial day celebrations.  On one side of the parade we be […]

With Memorial day approaching, our local winguts are still talking about “winning” in Iraq as if our debacle is some kind of High School basketball game and we are down by 10 points against Central with 2 minutes on the clock. If the coach just gives a super great pep talk at the next time […]
