And where did I put that 19,000 Euros I was wondering what to do with? And last, but not least... this is a good suggestion from the Rantin' Raven. 'Bout time to change the old "close enough for Government work" shibboleth, anyway! While your there, scroll down one post and take a look at Enlightened Management in action.

You know where to find it... in the dictionary, right between sh*t and syphilis. Hell, *all* of us who stay in long enough to retire are disabled... 's one of the reasons they fought so hard to keep the offset, and when they were obviously going to lose that fight, put the floor so high... And then played silly games with the phased in implementation. I got my retiree COLA in last month's check, as well as the tiny bump in the VA payment... but I won't see the increase in the offset payment until this month's deposit. Yeah yeah, I know where to go find sympathy... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11689 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11689 Fri, 14 Jan 2005 06:36:16 -0600 Tank. Bad guy. TOW on the wire. Okay, I'll confess to having suffered a senior moment after working so diligently in the nation's behalf that I've only had two hours of sleep since Wednesday. No, no--you needn't feel guilty over humiliating an old, grey-haired, disabled--waitaminnit--this isn't going well... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11666 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11666 Thu, 13 Jan 2005 21:58:08 -0600 And it's missing 1/2 of its road wheels!

Porsche turret has the rounded glacis with shot trap. As for the paint scheme... late war, and I'm not going to argue with the curators of the Panzer Musee, Muenster Lager, Deutschland. Ya did get the friend/foe part right... but I still think the Egyptians and Syrians were probably right to keep the French between us and them during Desert Storm...! 8^D Here's your Panther. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11659 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11659 Thu, 13 Jan 2005 20:32:52 -0600 %&*@#! bifocals...Panther G, Westfront. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11657 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/01/ahhhhh.html#comment-11657 Thu, 13 Jan 2005 19:24:52 -0600 Tiger II. Porsche turret. Waffen SS cammo scheme, Ostfront, ca 1944. Not enough blue in the green blotches, "sand" stripes should have a pinkish tinge, should be narrower and ya need to lose those cutsie-poo bluish dots...
