Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Uniform Stuff



The link is to a post at Target: Babies in Open. Fire for Effect.
It has to do with what the author describes as Aquaflage...That being the new Navy Working Uniform. With comments on the Air Force's new Casual Uniform. It is both humorous and pointed at the same time.
Just for info a couple of pics to see what we are talking about.
Air Force Casual Uniform

Navy Working Uniform.
I have yet to see any active personnel here at Edwards in the Casual Uniform. Even if I were in the AF, I would avoid wearing this one. Like it says in the post, Blockbuster!
At one point in the eighties, the idea of Aviation Enlisted Personnel going to a three tone gray camo uniform was discussed. Tradition still won out back then.
Any who, here is the link...............

That Air Force Uniform looks a bit like "corporate casual." Don't like it a bit.
