Sorry to drift off-topic, but how did you get promoted 13 times and retire as a Captain?
Does this American citizen get the same effort by the administration?

Washington Post article about another citizen who probably doesn't pass muster for some reason. Certainly not race-based or political.
Just sold me on a subscription.
Doing a hit at acid before a geometry test. Biggest memory was the pterodactyl beating it’s wings against the wall behind me.

Oh heck that’s a tough one to recall. First thing we had was a telephone line on a pole out by the rode. Had a handset on it. Anyone could use it if you felt up to the pole climb. That must have been around late 40’s or early 50’s. We had some big city folks buy up the Boudreaux land next to us. The husband used that phone a whole lot as did their farm hand names Eb. Good times.


Fred? How's Arnold?

From this morning. Nothing but sleet here until a few flurries late.

And they did. A friend on mine is a Trooper who made one leg of that run.


It was all funny in a way. The call he made to her, interrupting her at church. The three or four calls that followed that one...but the best was when we were leaving the hotel room to go eat before the game. He asked me if I had his ticket, I said no. That little nervous laugh as if he thought I was kidding.

They were divorced within a year or so. I still can’t believe that she didn’t give the present that contained the ticket on Christmas Eve.

Glad I got away from the politicians.

I remember hearing about that


It was an experience. Had just met the guy through his wife, the (incoming) Senator. Actually felt bad for him...and considered letting him use my ticket....until I thought to myself "He's a doctor, and his wife is a State Senator...let them handle it."


Waiting on the State Police to ferry a ticket (not mine) that one of my party left under his Christmas Tree in an unopened package in Shreveport.
First they came for the cows, and I did not speak out - because I was not a cow....
Does anybody have a link to any news agency that has covered this?

Picked some up last week. Remove from the casing and heat in a skillet or microwave. Place on large hamburger bun and add a slice of cheese ( I chose pepperjack). Add butter to skillet and cook like any other grilled cheese sandwich. Good stuff.
