Here the older houses have floor furnaces, basically a burner in a hole in the floor with a grate over it. He was trying to plug the ipod into the charger which was plugged in beside the grate and he dropped it. Fortunately it didn't make it all the way to the bottom or I would have had to crawl under the house to get it.

Once again. Rusty was on the leash.
We were at least one full property away.
Rusty was just walking.

Too bad, the kid's going to grow up the same way.

I guess nothing.

But the kid had no fear yet. So if she has american friends with dogs, she will get one as an adult.
I wonder what the mom will do then???

My friends adopted a little girl from Ethiopia. She is around 4 years old. At the orphanage they told the kids to do things or "the dog would get them." My friend was grateful for the help the first couple days, until she learned that woosha means dog and my friend had an over-friendly, under-trained black lab. Said lab now lives with a relative until the little blind dark girl and the over-excited woosha can learn to coexist. They tried having them both at the house, but my friend felt horrible forcing the dog to live outside away from everyone and not getting walks until late at night.

Anyway, point of long rambling story - some places have weird stories about dogs.

Night all. Tomorrow.

please make that whole statement past tense.

There is no duct work. It's just a gas heater in the floor. No fan/motor so no ducts.

Good morning all.

Mornin', folks.

morning, y'all.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Army!



and

Happy Flag Day to all of us.

Good morning everybody! The weather is fabulous. The sun is out and the humidity is gone.

AZ does the Army get a birthday cake like the Marines? I always wondered why they had a party and the other services didn't.

Army installations and Dept of the Army organizations usually do.

All the services celebrate their birthdays in some fashion or another. The Marines are just lot more OOO-RAHHHH about theirs!!

The Marines don't just have a party, they have a ball.

or
Did Flag day steal the Army's birthday?

We had an army before we had a national flag.

Franklin didn't foresee airplanes? You would think he would have.

Technically, yes.

My Dad was in the Army Air Corps. Waist Gunner on a B24.

edit: Flew twice as many missions as he had to and never talked about it, ever.
