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

US Troops Fed Up With Insane Rules of Engagement

This was up at the site of Victoria Jackson.............as in Saturday Night Live when it was good Victoria Jackson. So, I guess one should take this with a grain of salt as it were.
That being said, to me it is a well done piece. Remember this is from a lay person considering the subject. I think a unique and different perspective is necessary from time to time.
Begin Soap Box..............
Regardless of how one feels about the War in Afghanistan or even Iraq, the ability of the ground forces to pursue the mission without hindrance of stupid rules is paramount.
I understand that we are "The Good Guys" and must be professional at all levels. But when engaged with a determined and tough adversary, the ability to fight unfettered is a necessity.
End Soap Box.................
