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

"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

Lost Wages

We took a long weekend as I had a time off award to use before loosing it. We came to Las Vegas. Paul Revere And The Raiders are at South Point Hotel and Casino this weekend and we have tickets to Saturday's performance. Missus ORPO has a Birthday coming up and this is going to be a yearly tradition, we hope.
We are staying at The Nellis Inn on Nellis AFB, The Home of The War Fighter, Red Flag, Green Flag and the Air Force Weapons School.
Nice place the Air Force has here. We are liking the lower nightly rate over a hotel on a weekend in Vegas. 112 bucks for two nights versus 133 bucks at South Pointe...................
Perks.......................Gotta love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will have the trusty new Nikon D3000 with me for pics of the fun. I will post at my earliest convenience.
ORPO1 sends!

I ALWAYS stay in the TLQs when I'm traveling, going so far as to plan my route(s) according to the availability/proximity o' bases.

The BEST thing about USAF TLQs? They sell beer at the front desk. :-)
