  1. Yup. Standard wildland fire protocol. Simplifies things.

    During the Bro against Bro War, the Union named battles after the nearest body of water generally and the Secesh named them after the nearest town or junction.

    Thus we got:

    Shiloh/Pittsburg Landing

    Bull Run/Manassas

    Ocean Pond/Olustee

    Antietam/Sharpsburg

    Welcome back...and you'll get tomatoes when you deserve them.  This poem didn't qualify as a salad starter by a long shot. 

    Well that’s ain’t the one I read. 😉

  4. Facebook in their wisdom closed my account for violating their rules. Not Facebook rules but Instagram rules. Except I had not posted anything on instagram for probably a year. The instagram account they referenced was Not mine. They wouldn’t even say exactly what  the rule violation was! I tried to tell them that but I suspect it was Bots doing their thing. Problem was our VFW FB page was linked to my email so that went belly up too. 🤬
    So I opened a new page but lost a lot of followers and pictures.

    Thanks,  Bob.  Good to see you pop your head in.  Most of us are at the age where if we don't see someone for more than a week,  we start to wonder.   

     

     

    I keep checking the mirror to make sure there’s still a reflection.

  6. The Song

     

    You’re wondering when this song will end

    Well it never will. Know this my friend

    It’s a song of disappointment, fear and sorrow

    It’s a song of love and a song of loss

    A song of seas that are too storm tossed

    And a song of hope for a gentle, kind tomorrow

     

    It’s a song of land and a song of sky

    Of beauty that brings a tear to the eye

    A song of failure but of triumph too

    It’s a song you hear when you’re all alone

    For sins that you know you must atone

    And you wonder why you live the way you do

     

    It’s a song you hear when the meadowlark sings

    And the joy you feel when remembering things

    Like the times you watched the rising of the sun

    Its the way you feel when you watch the flames

    Dancing in a campfire and remember names

    And have thoughts that can’t be shared with anyone

     

    A song of travel and of hearth and home

    But a feeling you are bound to roam

    And seek out things you may not ever know

    A song of longing for days gone by

    When you were young and touched the sky

    Amazed at what this big world had to show

     

    It’s the song that often fills your ear

    A song that not all people hear

    As they live there lives with silence in their heart

    A song a large as the universe

    And I revel in each and every verse

    As I welcome the small chance to play my part

     

    It’s a song that I know cannot ignore

    And I’ve learned over time to listen more

    Even if the key is wrong and filled with strife

    It’s the tenuous steps of a newborn foal

    The rhythm I feel deep within my soul

    It’s the happy/sad and lovely song of life

  7. IWB is more concealable. OWB is more comfortable . I got over my dislike of Kydex years ago and have several of each. I do not pocket carry. I want a quality holster that is easy to access and retains the firearm securely
    Both methods take getting used to.

    I carried both ways for 30 years both on and off duty. As an instructor I’ve examined dozens and dozens. Now I carry IWB almost exclusively. I won’t bother to recommend one as there are so many of very good quality on the market now.

     

    Carrying will probably never be completely comfortable. The human body just isn’t designed for it. But with research and trial and error you will find a holster that is effective and more comfortable than the others.

    I never open carry. Never.
