    Experience of service in the Armed Forces

    My first sergeant, myself, and two other American GIs were inside a Thessalonikki waterfront bar, and ten or twelve British merchant marines walk in. First sergeant loudly proclaims that the Sun never use to set on the British Empire, and now the Sun didn't even shit on it. :oops:

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Sounds just like a flak vest...body armor, protective vest, M69. Had a front zipper, nylon flap close first, and then pull up zipper for a tight smooth gig line. 7lbs. Unpleasant garment, zipped or unzipped. Would not stop a 7.62 AK-47/SKS but hell, even Lucifer himself carried the AK47...

    Still on the prowl for Branagh's Belfast-thought I saw a stream offering several weeks past. Missed. The guy definitely intrigues ever since Henry. Almost made the Chicago Film Fest last October, but nada.... :(

    The Era -- Day By Day

    As Franklin quipped, 'a man who empties his purse inside his head...' Fine literature also includes controversial writing, such as Celine; thou even the French are confused. ----- Padraic and Norms, will this thing ever work itself out? o_O

    What's For Breakfast...

    I'm just coffee, egg, and toast in the morning. As in three egg omelet. A single slice of wheat toast. I like MSNBC? Morning Joe news and commentary with lovely Mika Brezinsky. Several coffee cups. This station features General Barry McCaffrey whom I met while in service. Helluva soldier and...

Searching for a Jag, scouring available models, years; estate sale iron; hand-me-downs; reposession; three state radius, then two, then concentrated Chicago environ. I looked for a high end dealer who wouldn't...

    His Honor the learned trial judge Henry H. Curran is quite obviously a hoss player. Cannot understand all the opprobrium over horse racing and professional gambling.
