At my age, I celebrate at noon. That is the only twelve o'clock I can stay awake for.

And, the ferry is free. I forgot about that until Wendy mentioned it. Last time I rode it I saw the dolphins and even got a photo of them.

Galveston or SPI.

Actually, SPI might be best with the kids since you have a Schlitterbaun there!

I've been working in Galveston recently. Dave. and they have a Schlitterbaun there also.

You might try contacting the folks at Air Capital Dropzone at Wichita. They should be able to give you some good info. I have done some work in that area a few years ago. I remember we got a good steak at the Scotch and Sirloin. Kansas University School of Medicine has a facility at Wichita.

I don't care for that expression either. The one I really dislike though is: It is what is. I personally can't think of an occasion when something is what it isn't.

He has a book out: "Life Without Limbs". I just finished reading it. A good read. He is truly an inspiration.

I don't know which is more disturbing, someone texting the entire game or someone watching someone text the entire game.

As usual an attack on the poster instead of an answer to the question.

Have at it.

The GOP would not permit a lame duck Democratic majority to pass anything of significance in that two month interval. It's inappropriate for the departing power to even try.

Why didn't the Dems pass the budget before the election? Still smells like a con job on their part for political gain.

These freshman tea baggers don't seem to understand that.

If they are stupid enough to force a shutdown then they should all stop getting paid as well. If they want to put a couple million Americans out of work then they should join them in the unemployment lines.

Why just blame the tea bag people? Even after the election, the Democrats had control of the House, Senate and Presidency till the end of the year. This is the budget that should have passed last year, but Pelosi chose not to bring a budget up. Why? Seems to me that they had a hand in engineering this crisis for political gain.

Yes. The Eldest Daughter of Rev Wright is the lead Attorney for most of the cases, they sue in Civil Court for Damages and Violation of Rights.

It is the Phelps family, not Wright, and I refuse to call someone who spews the hate they do Reverend.

Just finished Band of Brothers by Ambrose and then Beyond Band of Brothers by Dick Winters. Currently reading I Could Never Be So Lucky Again by Jimmy Doolittle.

The last living pilot of Doolittle's Raiders died a few weeks ago. He was the father of one of my best buddies when I was in the Air Force.

Prayers for him and family.

Our old cat died last spring and this is the first year we have had a Christmas tree in a long time because he would get in it an tear all the ornaments off.

I have that album somewhere.

27 years in November. Never miss it.

My daughter picked "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler for our dance.

Had an old sarge tell me once that he wouldn't do it again for a million dollars. On the other hand he said he wouldn't trade all his experiences for a million either. Kind of the way I feel about the time I spent in the Air Force as an enlisted.

I have a SimpleTech external drive that we got from Best Buy. Has been working good for over a year now.

Many states now have a similar law. You are required to slow down or move over for any emergency or maintenance vehicle. Most of the states have a sign posted when you enter the state.

When my wife was a deputy, they burned a small amount in an ashtray so all the cadets would recognize the smell.

"or the key that opens the lock will always be the last one you try"

Why would you keep trying keys after you find the one that unlocks the lock. Of course, it should be the last one!

Looks like Greg Raymer and Jamie Gold

They probably crashed there after putting the face on Mars.
