Following links around this morning, I stumbled upon a gem at a blog named “From my position…on the way!” titled “We, the little people“.  Fitting for Memorial Day, and every day.  Go read.
By the way, I found Sailorcurt had linked me, so I’m pleased to link him back.  Thanks Curt.

And now, lest I waste use up the whole day sitting on the couch with the laptop, I’m going to get in gear and go do something “productive”.

Passing by the Post Office yesterday, I saw the flag at half mast.  I tend to feel this way, as expressed by Benjamin Harrison

I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.  I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.  We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.     -Benjamin Harrison

Oh drat, today is the 26th.  I had planned to get to the range tomorrow or Wednesday and shoot the ePostal one more time, for some reason I was thinking the match went till the 28th.  But I was just over at Mr Completely’s checking the schedule and I see that TODAY is the final day for entries, not the 28th.  Good thing I checked, eh?  Guess I’ll have to put my pitiful attempts from the beginning of the month into an email and zip them over to France before they close the gates.
