The calm before the storm...

Getting in that last nap before it starts to get noisy...

Bibi, lounging comfortably, in the calm before the storm of noise that is Celebrate the Second on the Fourth at Castle Argghhh!
[This pic will embiggen.]

Meet Bibi, which stands for "Bitch in the Basement" which is what the Auld Soldier's Lady Wife named her,  back in the day. Service spouses can be a salty crew. Bibi lives down to her name - and the name labels the behavior, it didn't create it.

This window is the Armorer's view of the world as he blogs - hence my somewhat fuzzy view of the world...  Mebbe a sponge is in order there.  Naaaaaaaaaaah.

Soon the hordes will assemble and many chemical reactions that result in gases rapidly expanding while constrained by a tube with one open end will ensue, causing many plugs to find their way to the not-yet economically significant surface deposits of lead, copper, and antimony.

And tonight will see the skies lit by the rocket's red glare, and the bombs bursting in air.  Thankfully, it rained a tad yesterday, so the fire danger is minimal.

Smoked brisket, ham, and turkey will be consumed. Hamburgers seared, hot dogs charred...

And the younglings present will be grounded in the reason for the day, and the importance of all the amendments to the Constitution - not just the ones that the elites like.  In fact, they are made more importantly precisely because of that hostility displayed them by the elites and wielders-of-power.

Bibi, however, is *not* going to approve of the intruders to her demesne, where she is the innermost guard of the Arms Room.

Is Bibi with child or is she in need of faster mice?
 
John, you seem to have a burr in your support system and I don't mean your computer, website or blog. It is located *very personally* and its support system. Hang in there.

You mention it, in your next to last paragraph, "elites and wielders-of-power." There he goes, "rockets-red-glare."  But also in that very same paragraph, you also write of this, "And the younglings present will be grounded in the reason for the day....", the whole paragraph speaks volumes.

Why just the "younglings"? We all have something to learn from those documents, including me.  
 
 
 If she's preggers, Dr. Williams owes us a double-refund, 'cuz the Auld Soldier spayed her and neutered Damncat.

Just sayin'.

She lives a comfortable life, as the Auld Soldier would have wished.
