With millions of packages flying around the country, some screw ups are bound to occur. I have good luck generally so
I try to focus on the correct deliveries rather than the occasional incredible mis-routing fiascos tha are hard to believe. I tracked a package from Californin through about 18 states once before it got to Colorado. Went all the way to Maryland. Twice.
Life contains a particle of risk.
Not sure how to put this. The Cowboy Memorial page is a very personal and emotional thing for me. It represents souls who touched many of us over the years in ways that we can remember with smiles and tears.
The page is a tribute to their spirit and their heart.
I would prefer not to engage in a discussion of cold statistics regarding cause age, of death, etc.
It's just a little to close to my heart. Sorry.
I have a couple of M51army surplus wool field shirts. Wore em all the time in Germany in the winter. Warm wet or dry. Great for when it's too cold for even my Duluth Trading Co. shirts.
I was reading about the Aleutians campaign and how the 7th Division trained for Africa but then were committed to the Aleutians. They had no winter clothing but it was available. However the commanders thought the heavy winter gear woul slow the troops down. So it wasn't issued. Men froze to death on Attu.
Some folks should have been court martialed.
Yet Kubiak insists on "establishing the running game". Sheesh. Small line, slow running backs? You haven't got the horses for a running game, ya bozo! A god defensive line will stop them every time....as has been proven time and time again this year.
Spring training is not that far away.
In my mind.

The European detainees were not citizens though. Citizens and long term legal resident aliens were not locked up. No doubt the nature of the attack by the Japanese and their race were big factors in their imprisonment.
Fresh?? Hahaha. Salt beef and salt pork were the meats.Troops kearned to test the freshness by thrwing a hunk at a tree. If it bounced off it was edible. If it stuck...pass.
