Come to think of it, he may have been the one to write the headline, since he gets so confused.

We have our two grand daughters for several days......Camp Granny........Camp Paw starts when the boys come......we don't have the patience for seven kids all at one time......we used to do it that way.......now we only have a couple kids stay at a time......Good times......we really don't see them that often and by having a couple kids stay at a time it is easier give undivided attention for a few days which is better for them.......having a gang around makes it hard to give everyone the attention they want.....Good afternoon D, rainy ole day, 1.7 so far!
Got the granddaughter today, while mom, our daughter does some grocery shopping and house cleaning.
Have a great day D, Prayers!!!!
I have taught all of our grandchildren to swim and those that are old enough......to drive.......my latest driving student was full of enthusiasm to back my truck out of the drive last week.......I don't know how much it will cost to get my tailgate repaired.....I was able to straighten out the mailbox......I have had him out driving a bunch of times in the Director's Ford Escape......this was his first.......and last try........in my 2017 that has almost 25K miles on it......I was commenting a couple of weeks ago that it hadn't received the first ding since I drove it off of the lot.......,so much for that.........My oldest goes for her license Friday and I'm scared to death. It's not her driving I worry about, but other people's driving. Around here, they take their half of the road, but it's the middle half, leaving you with the edges.
One war movie I don't think anyone has mentioned....The Longest Day. Big cast...but watching it now seems a little hokey. Maybe it's just me. It's one of YouTube's movies now. Watched it again just a few weeks ago.
Another one...Battle of the Bulge with Henry Fonda. Think I like it better.

You know, I liked that movie a lot as a kid. I'd probably like it if I watched it today. But Dwight Eisenhower hated it. I guess he felt it overplayed the degree to which the Americans were surprised, though that's an historical fact. In any case, he actually came out of retirement in 1965 to hold a press conference describing the movie as BS...LOL. Like I say, I enjoyed it, historical innacuracies aside. I especially remember the scene with Robert Shaw firing up the doomed young Nazis to sing the Panzerlied...I like them both. Recorded Battle of the Bulge and beside Henry Fonda, it has Robt Ryan, Robt Shaw, Dana Andrews and George Montgomery. Not quite the all-star cast of The Longest Day, but pretty good.

So true. When is the average Joe going to understand what happened.
Mein fuhrer ... das blitzkreig ist kapoot! zum Rückzug blasen!
Yeah, the Longest Day should be ranked in at least the top 10. like that opening title song too.One war movie I don't think anyone has mentioned....The Longest Day.

My description of Camp Paw is.........It's like camping out in the concession stand and nothing is put away....and the pool is open 24/7........Just keep around a lot of Debbie Cakes, and freeze pops. Everything will be fine.
Speaking of Ty Cobb, this leaves me an opening to speak of my childhood sports hero. Ty Cobb once said that Stan Musial was the closest thing to a perfect baseball player he had ever seen.Speaking of baseball and a couple legends, here's Willie Mays shaking hands with Ty Cobb sometime during the 1950s. Too cool.

Most pre-70s war movies were pretty hokey. As were most Westerns.
Yes we have no cicadas, we have no cicadas today.Good morning D-League. Heading out to battle the swarming cicadas. I thought they were nearing their end here, but more and more keep joining the party.
Otherwise, just plowing through a lot of work.
One more movie to add to the list: Black Hawk Down. Having been in Mogadishu for a few months the a short time before those events happened, I thought they did a pretty good job capturing the place, with one exception: Too many of the "Somalis" were built like NFL linebackers. THe real Somalis were, without exception, built like No. 2 pencils.
I hope its a calm day for everyone.

The FDA put out a warning yesterday about not eating cicadas if you were allergic to shellfish. That shouldn't be a problem for most.Yes we have no cicadas, we have no cicadas today.
Here in Elgin OK we don't have any. We have a few each year (those not on the regular 17 year plan) but, none this year. Man, I wanted me some for my fishing bait.

One of America's beautiful walkways -- around the title basin, especially when the Cherry Trees are blossoming. But really any time. When I start doing my walks around DC again instead of out in the Maryland burbs, I suspect some scenes I've taken for granted will seem fresh to me, like this one.Good morning D-League. It's currently 65° and rainy, with thunderstorms and a high of 74° expected later today.
Everyone stay safe out there today.
