Hello on Tuesday

Dear Friends,



Our Monday went okay. We both needed naps to make it through the day. It is just the three females and me at the current time.

Mike went off to work in his normal flight suit gear even though he is teaching at the military college and not flying at the current time.



I asked about their close friends who both chose to stay in the military, and who are currently fly their A-10’s out of Davis Monthan Air Force Base (uscon Arizona) which is where Michael was taught how to fly the A-10. Her female pilot friend is heading off to Afghanistan for six months and leaving her one year old with her husband. This is exactly why Danielle chose to leave the military when she did. She would have been doing the same thing of leaving her family for 6 months.

Danielle has a class this evening. Another class she does online.



Our grandchild Isabelle is doing well. We are going off to the Kansas City Zoo which is one of the top rated Zoo’s in the nation on Wednesday. Now that she is a little older, it will be a little different when we walk around the many paths and trails at the Zoo. We won’t be seeing the Polar Bears which will arrive after we leave Kansas.



Today is a shorts and short leave day as we hit the low 70’s. Tomorrow will hit the upper 70’s.



Observation – I have been reading in the local newspaper, The Kansas City Star. They have been having reading articles of a locally grown militia which got busted in Detroit. These are the people who strictly interpret the Bible. They claim that they want to be prepared to fight the people who don’t follow the Bible to the letter of the law. They are also white people who don’t like our government, and who will attack the Anti Christ. Our President, being a person color, is one of those people whom they don’t like. Of course, they have an arsenal of weapons to do this defending.

What gets me is that we are trying to fight terrorists in foreign countries, but we have our homegrown terrorists which we have to devote scarce resources too.

This is another example of religion being at the root of the wackiness which has been going on in the world. The Catholic Church has been in the mix lately accused of hiding pedophile priests in Ireland and Germany. Do you wonder why the church goers of pretty much every religion have an elderly population trying to keep their churches going? After us baby boomers, I don’t see the following generations supporting religions as we did in the past. The fire and brimstone priests and ministers who taught us baby boomers when we grew up won’t have the younger generation in their churches.



We are going off to the park in a little while. I have to prepare my body for this activity.



The Red Sox are playing a preseason game this afternoon against Tampa. I will read a book while watching the game if Isabelle takes an afternoon nap.



I whipped up some French Toast for breakfast. Isabelle likes to dip skinny slices into her syrup. Linda taught her this dipping stuff the last time that we were together.



Have to go and take a shower!

Talk to you soon.

Have a great Tuesday! Ours is off to a great start. The Curley Lad
