Well last Wednesday was Veterans Day. On the 11 hour of the 11th day of the 11th month an armstice was signed that ended World War I. President Wilson later turned it into Veterans Day. I think of high school teammate Mike Ebert, who died in Vietnam. I also think of my father, who served during WWII, as well as my nephew Quinn Dobbins, who is also serving plus Tim Stone who is at FT.Sill in OK right now. Hats off to all you guys and more. Along those lines I went into my sons room yesterday. I heard a lot of gunfire and I knew he was playing one of his war games on the xbox360. This however was disturbing. He was fighting Russians I believe here in Washington D.C. As he and his team of Soldiers gunned their way across familiar territory I felt offended to see those horrific sights like a half blown up Washington Monument or them fighting their way up the floors of the Capitol bulding where most of the place was already bombed out. Seeing that made me realize even more how precious freedom is.
Strato came yesterday and College Football arrived with some all time greats and some SOM football cards. First game out of the box was Indiana @ Ball St. A dissappointing final was the Cards 28 Hoosiers 24. Today it was worse as IU lost to Western Michigan 35-7. My sister Jennifer came over and we went to look at a dog, which she eventually bought. Its a Shitzu-Bshon white with black and brown markings about 4 mos old and we nammed it "Bullit" as she got it on Veterans Day. Thats also the name of a famous dog? Can you guess, Susan did. It was Roy Rodgers dog. Its late 1:20am and I have a headache soI am leaving.
