Happy 4th of July!!

Wow…..the fun never stops in the cradle of civilization. I got to watch a moron scrub a wall and sweep a parking lot in a sandstorm today. One of my Marines got caught taking a piss on a wall. He got caught by the Commanding Officer……who is female. Needless to say the punishment was swift, cruel, and ridiculous. So the Marine spent a couple of hours scrubbing a wall, outside, with a toilet brush and bleach, during a sandstorm. When he was done with that he washed the rocks that he pissed on…..then he swept the parking lot. He got to do all of this and have a heart to heart about the pros and cons of indoor plumbing with……yours truly. If they would let me have a cattle prod I have been requesting, this would never have happened.

I got some great news the other day. I am coming home VERY soon. I told Stephanie and she is on her way home tomorrow from Indiana to greet me. I am really excited to see her and the kids.

It looks like I will be coming up north in August. I will be bringing Guy and I am hoping to catch the State Fair. I am guessing that I will be in Minnesota the first week of August. Is the Fair going then?

I am looking forward to seeing Jeff’s beard in person. That thing is epic.

No picture….my camera is packed.

  1. uhhhhh. Sorry brother, but I could not stand the beard any longer. If you want, I think i could retrieve what's left of it out of the downstairs bathroom's garbage. Then maybe a little Elmer's glue.....
