I'm getting ready to go on a trip soon and

when I pack I make sure to pack my worst worn out undershorts because instead of washing them I can simply throw them out.

I was going through my stuff and found a fugitive from the law of averages. It was a really worn out pair of skids that as a best guess came out of my footlocker from work that I had not gone through since I retired. They very well might have gotten into the footlocker as a prank someone pulled with battery acid.

Anyway I had a visitor and was emptying the dryer when we were yakking. I was inspecting my shorts as they came out of the dryer looking for likely candidates as throwaways for my next trip to visit family. That pair popped up.

It was nothing but a really torn up elastic and holes defined by a few threads. My pal looked at them wide-eyed and asked me, "You're not actually going to wear those, Are you?"

I casually replied, "Why not? They're my favorite pair. I've had them since high school."

I just heard Jasmine Crockett lost

which is great because after the mid terms we won't have to listen to her ghettospeak any more.

She's blaming it on the Republicans voter fraud which is hilarious. 

Maybe we can get the Democrats to support the SAVE act and clean things up so things like this never happen again.

===============================

The President or maybe Pete Hegseth ought to make a tweet.

Platoon Sergeant Joe Blow Third Platoon A Company 1/327th Infantry (pick a real name and outfit at random)

I've heard about you and your platoon and I want to remind you of the rules of engagement. You may kill as many enemy combatants but you may not eat any of them unless they have been inspected by the USDA. I don't want you or any of your guys getting sick. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

The screeching would be epic and I'm sure the enemy would wonder if word got back to them.

4 March already.

Time seems to be whipping past incredibly fast. 

The nation is having a 250th birthday come 4 July and I haven't even managed to recover from the Bicentennial yet which was only fifty years ago. 

Come 28 May I will have been out of the Army for fifty years and it's all been a blur.

the 

===================================

Yesterday for the hell oof it I watched a couple of episodes of The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin and Captain  Gallant of the Foreign Legion, both of which I have not seen in over 65 years.

It was interesting seeing how primitive TV was back in the 50s when I was 7 or 8. 

Both were typical 50s western format. A young orphan boy growing up in Fort Apache and a young boy growing up in a Foreign Legion outpost. Captain Gallant was just a western format but set in a different setting.

Back then every small boy was envious of Rusty and Cuffy because they got to grow up among Old School Real Men.

It took two or three decades to realize we had grown up among real men because it takes a lot of moxie to settle down and raise a couple of kids and do it right.

It is March 3 and I missed a March 2 post.

Oh, well. I guess I'm good for a day off once in a while.

================================

I have to get away from social media for a while because it is slowly turning me into someone I don't want to be. It has made me at times downright mean.

Then again, I guess you could say only on those that have it coming. Still I really don't like being a savage even though I have to admit it can be fun at times but only in small doses.

Anyway, enough is enough and I think I will take a break from social media for a while.

I have never seen anything as hate driven as the Democratic party.

Their entire platform is based on one thing and one thing only: Hate Trump.

Currently we are in the middle of military action in Iran and we have elected officials that would love nothing more than to see one of our carriers sunk with a loss of 5500 sailors just to embarrass the President. It's sick.

Immediately after we took Maduro from Venezuela rumors appeared stating that Hakeem Jeffries tried to tip off Maduro but was too late. The day after the night operation he was screeching that the President had failed to notify Congress. I wonder why.

As far as Iran goes the usual suspects, Maxine, AOC and Jasmine are mad because the President didn't ask them for special permission to conduct a military operation in Iran. 

Oh. He didn't ask them for permission. I see. I guess they're going to tell mom on him and he's going to get a spanking.

Until a few days ago Iran was a rogue nation that was destabilizing the entire Middle East and by extension the entire planet. Now we are freeing 90 million people from an oppressive government and anyone in congress that doesn't support that is a big part of the problem.

It's not going to be all peaches and cream in Iran. There's as to be expected supporters of the old regime and there will be hiccups and burps but I do believe that over a reasonable amount of time the United States and Israel are going to wind up with a useful ally in the middle east.

Hopefully they will become trade partners with us because nothing brings nations together better than trade, especially if it's negotiated with a win/win attitude.

March has arrived and

yesterday I took the Miata out to celebrate good February and freshen up the gas a bit. It was a glorious day for it.

=============================

War with Iran has begun. 

Trump simply picked up the can that was being kicked down the road.

We really only had two choices in this matter.

We could have kept kicking the can down the road until the Iranians developed the bomb and tried to use it on us. Most politicians would have likely done just this.

                                             Or

We could take Iranian leadership out and let the people replace the Ayatollahs with a secular government.

Most likely what will happen is we do this Iran will become very friendly to the United States. 

Prior to the Ayatollah takeover Iran was very western and had good relations with us. The good relationship ended with the Ayatollah takeover.

Of course the left is screaming that Obama had a deal in place which is bull$hit because if the deal was being observed then Trump would not have had to bomb their nuclear weapons development site.

"Well I didn't know it would be like this

I was all for immigration reform but what they are doing to people is just awful!" I heard this in a doctor's office recently.

What did you expect? Did you think that these people would leave when the government mandated it? Did you think they would pack up and leave because they were told to? Are you really that stupid?

Immigrants are divided into two categories, bona fide legal immigrants and invaders. The bona fides enter legally and go through the process required by law. These are generally pretty good people. They have been vetted and seen to be of decent character that have something to contribute to the country. Invaders are a mixed bag. 

Some are gang bangers, thugs, thieves, prisoners released to sneak in to the country. I would imagine some of them are sleeper cells members from unfriendly countries. Still, many are otherwise decent people that just want to make a few bucks. All have one thing in common. They are criminals. They entered the United States illegally.

As for the halfway decent people that illegally entered they are not really halfway decent because they bucked the line. The legal process takes a certain amount of time and money. The illegals have bucked the line and made fools of those that respected the system and paid their dues.

These people are not just going to up and leave because the law told them to. They have to be dug out one by one kicking and screaming.

What do you expect? It IS going to be savage and the blame is Biden's for letting so many of these people into the country to begin with. It's a bitch undoing something that should never have been done to begin with.

The Buddhist walk for peace is over with. The monks are back in Texas.

It took about 120 days and the weather ranged from hot to cold but they persevered.

They had a large following on social media and occasionally someone would wonder what the President thought of it.

The White House was strangely quiet and I believe that Trump did that out of respect for the monks. He most likely wanted to keep them out of the political fray.

Had he said anything remotely kind about their walk for peace I am reasonably sure the left would have lined the march route and turned it into a gauntlet of taunts, jeers and objects being thrown at them. Possibly worse.

Protip.

Watch what happens to an employee that resigns to take another job because when you resign they are going to do the same damned thing to you.

If the employee gives them the proverbial 2 weeks notice and they can him on the spot then that is what is going to happen to you. If he gets to finish out his final two weeks so will you.

If that's the case is they can him and you find another employer simply don't show up for work the Monday you start your new job.

Fair is fair.
