Happy Hour

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

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

CARROLL LEFON: Navy aviator impacted others

In the Lahontan Valley News.
This was from yesterday.
By Chaplain Dave Harvey
1-126th Aviation Task Force
".......You'll probably find that most of his readership never had the opportunity to meet the man in real life; such are the vagaries of hosting an online blog. I never served with him on active duty, nor did I know him from the Naval Academy days or in any professional capacity, yet I did get to know him a bit. And what I knew affected me greatly, as is true for the many hundreds who have posted their own grief-stricken comments over at his website...............................Link is below.

Padre Harvey did good here and I think he captured exactly why we mourn so deeply for Lex. He WAS "our brother."
