  1. We have a great country which has the potential to be far greater still. Today I celebrate what greatness we have achieved, and dedicate myself to continuing to improve that greatness.
  2. The fire started on the roof, eh? I didn't realize that Ukraine had space lasers, too.
  3. All incorrect. The first time I heard the term "Blinndergarten" was when we moved to Brenham in 1969. It was used by Blinn students protesting that they could not have candles or incense in their dorm rooms, nor could they have a member of the opposite sex in their dorm rooms. They also didn't like the dress code, as it forbade men wearing love beads and having long hair, and women wearing mini skirts, short shorts, halter tops, and bikinis. The students felt that they were being treated like children instead of adults. Imagine the 60s meeting the conservative German mindset, and you have a good idea of the conflict. I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's older than that.
  4. Maybe it's like iocane powder and one can build up immunity?
  5. If you were to ask me who I would pick to win a hip hop dance national championship, BYU wouldn't have been on my radar at all.
  6. Hell doesn't have tortures horrible enough for Putin and his war criminals. I'd still like to send them there.
  7. I wave to folks, especially in my neighborhood. Mostly being friendly, but in my neighborhood the secondary purpose is to let folks know I'm watching. Trash in the bar ditch in front of my house is way down.
  8. When I was really young, like 5 or 6, I thought that the people who died in movies or on TV were people who had been sentenced to death, and that was how they were executed. Shot, drowned, dragged by horses, you name it. I thought that the dude who was run over by the chariot in Ben Hur must have done something truly horrible to die that way. Of course, I learned better as I aged. Now I wonder which of my uncles gave me the idea.
  9. Air fields, train yards, rolling stock, oil pump stations, supply dumps, and equipment repair yards. Cut that tail and starve the head.
  10. There may be a good reasons for someone to have a knife near my nuts, but that ain't one of them.
  11. Some quick Googling says that Sevastopol is 188 air miles from Odessa, which is right at the 190 mile range of the ATACMS that can be fired from the HIMARS launchers. I'm not sure that is close enough for accurate targeting, but there should be closer launch sites. Drop several ATACMS on the port facilities and see what you can wreck. Same with Melitopol, Berdiansk, and Mariopol. Jam up their nautical supply lines.
  12. This. Snake Island is to this war as Harpers Ferry was to the Civil War. You want it, but you can't hold it.
  13. That, too. Getting into my wife's CRV used to not pinch my balls. Does now. I find myself sitting on them sometimes, too. I didn't realize that once your balls drop, they don't stop dropping.
  14. Those are smaller craft, so most likely they will be trucked in whole, or broken down into sub-assemblies then reassembled in Odessa.
  15. These latest posts about folks dropping dead has me thinking that while getting old sucks, not getting old sucks more.
  16. I'm curious about what intelligence is driving this. One doesn't move a corps HQ and a ton of troops for shits and giggles.
  17. Well shit. Ok, whatever the European equivalent of poison ivy is. Or his own shit. Or both.
  18. Cold blooded to frag a dude while he's taking a shit. Looks like it probably wasn't fatal, so I hope that he fell into poison ivy.
  19. There are two things that I have to explain to my wife three times every baseball season: contact with the ball is not a hit, and "four foul balls you're out" is not the rule in college or pro ball. At the beginning of the college season, then again around the CWS or All Star Game, then again during the playoffs. Every year. Without fail. At least she's watching baseball with me, which is nice.
  20. Depends on the general. I remember seeing a few days ago that the deputy defense minister was headed to Ukraine. If he was killed in a HQ that was obliterated this evening (their time), I bet that would get his attention. Or, if a large gathering of colonels and up was assembled for some meeting and it was hit, that would put a good dent in the leadership on the ground. It was also recently reported that there was another shake up in the upper level leadership in the Russian Army in Ukraine. Maybe one of them decided to not go quietly. Lots of possibilities. Just as long as there aren't reports of similar rapid visits to the White House, 10 Downing St., etc., I won't worry too much. If we start hearing about those...
