Feel Horrible
I was sitting in my office doing the work at home thing when the wife calls from downstairs if I had my BB gun handy. She said the squirrel was back ravaging the bird feeder. I went into the garage and grabbed the pump gun instead of the "gentle" Red Ryder Daisy gun I typically use. I pumped it up, aimed out the door, and fired. I aimed for his butt but hit the squirrel mid back...paralyzing his back legs. I immediately felt very guilty for wounding the animal and went outside to finish it off humanely. The squirrel drug himself to the fence, climbed it, and got away before I could take care of it. I feel horrible. The little guy just wanted some food. I wounded him, grievously, and now he is out hurt. If I had killed it outright I do not think I would have felt like I do, but I wounded it and now it suffers. Damn I feel horrible about it.

Memorial Day
This photo.....I was serving in the Corps at the time I first saw this picture and it choked me up immediately. I instantly saw my son in this young lads position (I am getting misty writing this thinking about it). It is still an extremely powerful image to me personally.

5 July, 1946...a TRUE date that should live in Infamy!!
French engineer Louis Réard introduced the modern bikini. It modeled by Micheline Bernardini, on July 5, 1946, the name for his design borrowing from the Bikini Atoll, where post-war testing on the atomic bomb were taking place.

Much needed after a 4 day weekend! 4 Day you say? How in blue blazes were you lucky enough for a 4 day weekend? Well, My son is getting out of the Army soon and is doing a diddy move from Fort Brag back here to Virginia Beach. So....I drove my truck down to him on Friday. Yep.....3 1/2 hours down, 3 1/2 hours back...just to drop off a truck. What will we not do for our kids?
