- 1st mug of Dark Magic down.
- All posts read and liked.
- August 1st. Hump Day.
- That's it.
- Ready for the Bahama Basketball.
- Football also.
- Saw a 4 or 5 car pileup last night coming home. Those bad drivers just can't figure it out.
- Drive safely out there. Watch it!
- Carry on.
That's where that pileup was.Morning Don, be careful on GA400.
For 21 years I traveled up and down that road and what I saw could fill a book. Once I was doing about 80 in the middle of the night and somebody passed me so fast their tail lights were out of sight before I knew what happened. Had to be doing about 125-130. Just crazy.That's where that pileup was.

I never got to meet them but am to this day still in awe of them. A favorite memory was when Rocky Marciano beat an aging Joe Louis and sat at ringside and cried after doing so.
Years later while in the Navy I had a conversation with Dick Pettigrew about that incident. I couldn't under stand why he cried. If I remember right he said that he thought that Rocky had so many emotions going on that he just broke down.
I took that to mean that Marciano had to wonder if he could have beat a younger Joe Louis. I can't remember what Rocky gave for a reason.
Davy was big for his age.
Happy birthday warrior cat. I bet you can pull it off. And an early happy birthday to the Mrs.Was working heavy until noon today, office shut down and took me out to lunch. Turned 61 today and trying to get out of the office early, wife's birthday is Friday and we ride together almost everyday since she works at Ft. Sill as well so, buying her present takes sneaky skill. Going to go all stealth on them here in about 10 minutes and disappear.
He will enjoy the holidays also in Europe. Good place to visit during the holiday season.
- Heck yeah. HBD to Warrior and Mrs. Warrior Friday. Man. I wish I was only 61.
- Talked to #3 a few minutes ago. It was 21:15 at his base in Italy. He likes his Sgt. duty he said.
- He may be home for Christmas. Lordy I miss that boy so much.

at unclear: How you doin'?
Not sure where to post this, gonna post it here to vent.
Had a friend threaten to kill me tonight. I knew he'd been going through some stuff but tonight he decided to blame it all on me(he's been depressed). Called me a toxic coward, a fake person etc. who doesn't care about him. I offered to come by and talk about it and he said if I came by he was going to blow my head off.
Any suggestions about what I should do?
We have one mutual friend who he's also mad at but is still talking to, whose been sending me messages of their conversation. Basically saying how bad of a person I am and so on.Tough one but my take is keep your distance. If you have a way to have some one monitor him without getting you involved may be your best move. Good luck. Depression is unpredictable at best.
