A gorgeous morning on the Kentucky River.

The camera angle makes it look bigger than it really is.

Wife and I watched "The Getaway" with Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw and Ben Johnson this past Saturday. Scenes from the movie were filmed at the Riverwalk, including this cool floating lunch table.

I don't remember that scene from The Getaway. When did it occur?

3 of us.

None of you have heard of it because it is a bullshit internet meme.

I don't mean to sound cynical so I'll just say this...Don't. Trust. Shit.

While I am not arguing...

What do coins on military tombstones mean?

This Memorial Day many will visit cemeteries to pay their respects to fallen soldiers with coins. Here's what they mean.

The meaning behind the tradition of leaving coins on veterans' gravestones

For those that have visited grave-sites of U.S. veterans, you may have noticed coins on the top of headstones that were left behind by previous visitors.

americanmilitarynews.com

I just gave a couple reasonable references. (There are a bunch more but these two are from better known sites.)

My retired Tanker buddy though I haven't seen him in about twenty years I have talked to him recently does not post things that aren't correct...

I don't trust everyone and sometimes not so easily but when I trust, I trust, period. I posted what he posted and just now looked this up.

A spade is a spade is a spade....

Oh, he posted this one too...

San Antonio Riverwalk scenes follow the prison scenes shot at the "Huntsville Unit".

He has no clue, he led a horrible life and is being paraded as some loveable oaf. He is a horrible older human being and was horrible his entire life to date. It is the Demosocialcommuist Liberals pulling the strings and they are doing it on purpose. Just follow the U.S. trail of donation money to other countries and follow who endorses giving the money to those countries and then look where the donations roll in from in the form of "small" donations with some of the weirdest names you can conceive... Yeah you can turn millions of dollars into small transactions very quickly and easily using BOTS and other AI techniques... It is not fantasy speech as the Demosocialcommunist Liberals spend a ton of time trying to vilify...

I am interested. How do I join up.

SC, or any of the D, all you need to do is start reading Isaiah 48 in the morning or any time tomorrow and post that you have read it, that makes you a member of our BIBLE reading group, will be proud of any of you joining. All we do is just make sure everybody reads for that day! If the chapters are real short, we may read 2 chapters.

Yea just post it here is fine with me. I also wanted to say if you want to make a comment about what you read it's fine. Just want to make sure it's ok with the D to do this.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 65° and foggy, with 91% humidity. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 91°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 72°F and cloudy. Expect 83°F for our high. We've seen rain for 9 of the last 11 days. We may go 10 for 12 today. No complaints from me. We really need more drops so our temperatures this coming summer stay below 100°F.

LadyCats play softball vs Tide this coming Friday at 1 PM EST. Go Cats!

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning! I don't do wine though I do whine with my cheese some times. Wine and me don't agree for some reason.

Oh, I do pray that all have a great day and that what you attempt in Christ is successful. God Bless you all...

I just completed reading. Stubborn and obstinate to redemption. That is Israel. I love the line Peace Like A River which was a favorite spiritual of mine. Have a nice day all

Good Tuesday Morning D League

Currently 62° and the sun will be strong today. We are expected to reach 83° and still no rain. So I can catch up on outside work this morning. This afternoon I meet with my primary doctor to go over some blood work. Trust all have peace like the Santa Fe River in the picture below.

 

[awf]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Expecting more rain throughout today. Our high should reach 79°F. After Wednesday, rain is outta here.

Couple upsets in pro basketball over the weekend. Love it. I rarely watch NBA anymore except for late in the playoffs and finals. Spoiled brats.

Monday, Monday.......

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I have to share this fact about asparagus.......the roots of asparagus are sponges for the chemicals in treated lumber........(arsenic).....if grown near treated lumber it is not edible.......it is poisonous.......

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Good morning D-League. It is a warm 64.0°F and sunshine on our way to 90. We need rain and hopefully it will get here tomorrow.

Got a question Mr. AWF, you ever had any dealings with Rollers? I remember when I was young watching them.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Sunrise in the Bluegrass. Love it.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Sunny and warm this morning heading up to the mid, high 80s. But now one of my weather apps is telling me the highs Friday and Saturday is 65! Hate it when the temp bounces up and down this time of year. We've had little to no Spring in the Buckeye State....and not a very wet Spring.

It's 8 o'clock and I've already been outside doing some 'honey do's'. Had a project for me to do while she took her morning walk with a friend. Wanted it done when she got back so she could do her thing .... planting yet more flowers. Good thing we're debt free ..... other than to the garden centers. 😉

Y'all have a safe, happy, and productive Tuesday.

I prefer the open top buses to these........it is the only way to see London....

 

[Creed Bratton]

Good morning D Leaguer's. Today is a blessed day so enjoy it with those you love.

I take off time to time
With those crazy friends of mine
Head out on steel horses
With wheels and we ride

We burn up that road to old Mexico
Blend in with the desert
Just we amigos
And we roll

And cowboys like us sure do have fun
Racing the wind, chasing the sun
Take the long way around back to square one
Today we're just outlaws out on the run
There'll be no regrets, no worries and such
For cowboys like us

Dang, my hair's never ever been long enough to wear rollers... I am shocked. I watched my Mom wear rollers when I was young. I guess I've seen a couple men with hair long enough to wear rollers, I guess more than a few. But, I sure wouldn't let my hair get that long...

Plenty of open-topped buses in DC...

This morning's haul. Note the 5 peso coin sitting upper-left. Worth 25 cents.

La vida es buena.

Some how knowing the D, this was going to happen!!!!!! Let me rephrase what I ask, Birmingham Roller Pigeons!!!!!

Was the belly button lint stuck to the penny?!!!!

Me when I come across a spot like this: In your best Homer Simpson voice. "AArrrgghhhmmmmmm! Fishing spot"

🤣

My hair was course and curly, so I always kept it short. I never dreamed of long hair, it would have been uncontrollable.

 

[warrior-cat]

Supposed to rain tomorrow but, I have Frog Togs so, I am going fishing tomorrow morning anyway. The Vegans are visiting again this weekend.

Lord Protect me.

No, left over in my pants pocket. Forgot about removing before snapping picture.

Lest We Forget.....


Edit: For those who know more, this IS legit...

I have an interesting, to me, story about coins and the dead. My g-grandfather was killed when he was in his mid 20'S while building a loading dock on Lake Michigan.

As he lay on the dock, two 25 cent coins were placed over his eyes. Apparently this was the custom. Why I am not sure. Anyway a man saw them and stole them. He was caught and stood trial. I have the newspaper article. The locals wanted to take him from his jail cell and hang him.

The thief was from Detroit and some of the remarks about people from Detroit are classic. These words would not be allowed in today's paper. For some reason back in the 1880's Detroiters had a reputation around the state of Michigan as being undesirables and the thief proved it. Stealing money off of a dead man's eyes was a no no and could get you hanged.
