"Whoo-boy there soldier. I hate these meetings with the DNC board."
I shudder every time I realize that guy is a heartbeat awa from replacing our current President, the worst ever, because Biden would own the title before he could even raise his hand to take the oath.
I'm just picturing the irony of Biden visiting the same troops who bolted from the DFAC in Kirkuk rather than have their picture taken with him...
Re: "Blivet Definition Correction"
The last I heard, of course, subject to correction by the specialist on the subject, a 'blivet' was a bag, specifically designed to hold 50 Pounds, filled to 200 Pounds of forementioned contents. Since you are the spcialist on the subject, would you correct me, where I am wrong?
Re: "Kirkuk DFAC"
Is there any place free of these politicians? I understand the troops' logic and it is legally sound. It's the politicians, that I don't understand. I was told by a real 'Auld Timer', "Grumpy, you don't worry when you don't understand. The time to worry is when you do understand them."
He can't even dress himself with help! Or, to be fair, maybe that's why he has it wrong in this case...
Nah, why be fair?
Well, you know the old saying: If you can't say something nice,.....come sit next to me.

Sorry I didn't get over your way Sir John. My mother wanted to go see her Grandson in Independence and she had her own demands while we were around the big city. I plan to head out to Independence next summer, if I avoid spinal surgery, and I'll email you then. I'll bring the former SSG with me as well.
