In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

It's Been Seventy Years...

...since the landing on Guadalcanal in 1942. A tiny island, but necessary for a refueling stop for bombers.

If you don't know anything about the attack, and subsequent long effort to rid the island of defenders, do a search engine, go to the library or find a participant that's willing to talk about it. It's part of our history and a testament of the bravery of our armed forces.

    "If you don't know anything about the attack, and subsequent long effort to rid the island of defenders,"
    watch Guadalcanal Diary, then the Jimmy Cagney flick The Gallant Hours where he plays Halsey.
