In the Real America......
Killed in action the week before, the body of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City , Georgia , just south of Atlanta , on June 11, 2009 .
The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough , Georgia .
A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.
Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects honor and no longer honors sacrifice inside the military.
Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice.
The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored.
You won't see this in Olympia or San Francisco......
G-d rest your soul Sergeant.
Semper Fi......

From the U.K. Daily Telegraph...........
.........Gotta Love this study.......
HAVING sex daily - especially with a younger woman - is the perfect recipe for keeping men fit and healthy, a study has revealed.
While the average life expectancy of a man is 77, the last seven years are, for the majority of men, marked by serious illness or ailments.
But according to experts, sex rates highest among the simple and often bizarre ways to keep men healthy - including cutting down on pain killers, eating five apples a day, brushing teeth with your wrong hand and carrying wallets in the breast pocket.
Germany's Max Plank Institute - which conducted a study into deaths in Denmark between 1990 and 2005 - found a younger bride can cut the risk of premature death risk by 20 per cent.
It showed men who were with women about 15 to 17 years their junior - who look after the children and can put food on the table - help extend their lives.
The study concluded the higher life expectancy was either caused by younger women caring for men better or natural selection.
Let's see.....Younger woman? CHECK
Can cook?.....CHECK
Brush teeth leftie?......CHECK
Little to no pain killers?....CHECK
Looks like you're gonna have to suffer ol' Wollf til I'm 90....
*gotta move that wallet though, my tail hurts.....*
Keep it up Folks.......*ya hear that honey?
*ducks and scurries away, tail between legs.....*

Some Country Truisms.......
......collected from all over the place.......
Don’t sell your mule to buy a plow.
Two can live as cheap as one if one don’t eat.
Don’t corner something meaner than you.
You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, assuming you want to catch flies.
Man is the only critter who feels the need to label things as flowers or weeds.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
Don’t go huntin’ with a fellow named Chug-A-Lug.
You can’t unsay a cruel thing.
Every path has some puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about never happens

CO2 and the Nazis.......
Al Gore today compared the battle against climate change with the struggle against the Nazis.
He said that the world lacked the political will to act and invoked the spirit of Winston Churchill by encouraging leaders to unite their nations to fight climate change.
Al said that it was difficult to persuade the public that the threat from climate change was as urgent as the threat from Nazi Germany......WTF???
“The level of awareness and concern among populations has not crossed the threshold where political leaders feel that they must change.
“The only way politicians will act is if awareness raises to a level to make them feel that it’s a necessity.”......or to see that they can join this pocket filling racket with him........
He also accused politicians around the world of exploiting ignorance about the dangers of global warming to avoid difficult decisions........No, Al, YOU are exploiting ignorance....and filling your pockets from it.
Jerkwad......Global Warmening equals NAZIS?
I revise that....A$$hole.

Sunday.....Fun Day......
And we had fun......took a little trip down the coast to the Santa Monica Pier.....neither Dragn, nor her two dragnlings had ever been there...in FACT, none of them have ever even seen "1941", the movie.......sheesh, how backward, I s'pose I must find and rent it for them.....
We had a good time, the boyz, only two of them this time, rode the Farris wheel and roller coaster, while we did the Parental Unit picture taking thing........
Ate a late lunch at Bubba Gump's....we shared a Coconut Shrimp while the boyz devoured their own.......
Happy time.....until......I noticed the Crosses....labeled Arlington West.....and put up by Veterans Against the War......the numbers of American Service men and women killed, along with an inflated number of Iraqi casualties.....this thing does not Honor our Men and Women, it demeans their Service....
It Pi$$ed me off. I sent Dragn and the boyz off in another direction and went and had some softly spoken....yes, I can do that....and very harsh words for the piece of shi-ite, pi$$ on our Soldiers, human debris behind the table.....
He said, "Well, everyone is entitled to his own opinion....", and trailed off.
I responded quite simply, "Yes, you moron....Because of them...." *Ba$tard.
Oh......'scuse me, that's not what I'm posting about tonite.....
It's Wedding stuff, Wollf and Dragn's Wedding, 24/7....not as interesting as drug death rock star pedophile deaths, or North Korea rattling plastic sabers at a super power, or even this Global Warmening that is freezing us out of house and home.....BUT....I have to write about it for my Grand Cubs....they have to know what a nut wad they came from.....
First off....our Guest Book from the Wedding...we'll still allow signatures for another week or so before my Friend Kenny does the shellacking honors.....I actually Like it, it's a reminder of a Great time, and adds color to the eat in kitchen.....
Then, just a glimpse at some of the gifts we received....not the usual, but Loved and appreciated because these People Know us.....we're fairly successful, already have the pots and pans, china sort of stuff, and we're.....er, um, well....a different sort of couple.
A Knife, painted with you know who and resting on deer antler.........
Then, Every Wedding gets a commemorative knife to cut the cake with the Bride and Groom's names and the date on it......
Kenny knows us, and thus, we got a real "Bowie" knife and stand....it sets proudly on our mantel, and Dragn only shook her head a "little" bit.....it is a Beauty.
And though I didn't ask for it, My Friend who won't admit it....it's a Guy thing....had a bust mad of yours truly....it's above our media center in the living room.....the eye actually glow at night when the light hits them....scares the heck out of the Cubs and Dragnlings when they get up in the night......heh
So, there you you have it......my ramblings for this evening.....G-d Bless...
Oh, did I tell you I Love my Lady? Oh, maybe so........
