Memorial Day

[stgislander]

I don't mean to start a flame war, but am I the only one that gets a little torqued because somewhere along the way, Memorial Day has become a conglomeration of Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day?

And I'm saying this as a veteran.

I thought the ride permits were turned down after approving them. Did they do another about-face?

WE will not let the brave that died for US to have died in vain. And, also, the soldiers that were maimed, and all that are alive, today. WE will fight for them in OUR troubled times. OUR current government underestimates the power of Patriots. God bless the USA.

I've long bemoaned that our major federal holidays have become an excuse for "Celebrate With Our Great Sale Prices!!!"

...and, "Happy Memorial Day!" It's like saying "Happy Anniversary of Your Mom's Death!"

My plan was to sit on my porch and read. But Sistard texted me to meet her and friend POL Winery to hang out and listen to some music. Perfect day for that!

Glad the weather cooperated!

For today, yes! I had planned on going out of town, but, nah.

And we lost count of cars getting pulled over for speeding. The LEOs were out in force today!
