Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day
What’s the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day? I hope that when you answer that question it isn’t because you get a day off for one but not the other unless you are a federal employee. Memorial Day dates back to the American Civil War. While the decorating of soldier’s grave sites was common […]
Battlefield Archaeology_Misc
Here’s a few more pics I found on the web. This batch deals with some armored vehicles used on the Eastern Front. I’ve always been interested in the subject but lately have been more leisure reading in the area. Currently, I’m reading Blood Red Snow, the diary of German private in a panzer grenadier regiment […]
Slave to the Lender II
In my first post titled Slave to the Lender I said: According to World Magazine a junior US Senator in 2006 objected to raising the debt ceiling to 9 trillion. He warned that more debt “weakens us” and shifts “the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.” This […]

The Day the Earth Stood Still
In general I like Sci-Fi. I remember as a kid staying up with my dad on Friday nights to watch the late show and it was usually something Sci-Fi. One movie in particular gave me nightmares and my mom yelled at my dad for filling my head with scary stuff. The movie was “Them” a […]
A Few Thoughts on the Death of a Mass Murderer
Much could be said about the death of Osama Bin Laden but my first thoughts took me back to a trip to Auschwitz I took during a trip to Poland. Auschwitz was a Nazi concentration camp near Kracow, Poland. Hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps millions passed through the gates of Auschwitz to perish in […]

He warned that more debt “weakens us” and shifts “the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.” This same Senator is no longer a Senator but is the President. Today […]
