The very definition of mixed emotions: Air Force vs. ND. Today. I suppose I could say my team wins, no matter who prevails. No predictions here…Air Force has a very good option game and ND’s defense hasn’t been all that effective this season. We could see an upset of sorts. Maybe.
We had our first hard freeze last night and I’ve been watching an interesting spectacle unfold outside my window for the past four hours, to wit: leaves are descending from the trees like rain from a dark cloud. I’m not kidding. The trees were fully leafed out at 0600 this morning and they’re about two-thirds denuded as I type. At the rate they’re going they’ll all be bare by this evening.
Today’s Pic: Apropos of nothing…How the Other Half Lives, or perhaps more appropriately, how the other 25% lives. SN2 in his “quarters” aboard the USS Rodney King Davis. Sam was a full Lieutenant at the time, or the equivalent of an Air Force captain. The last time I lived in a space that small and slept in a bunk bed I was an airman—VERY junior enlisted—back in the early 60s. Don’t ask how the Navy enlisted live…
Dad,
ReplyDeleteThat brings back a lot of memories... IF I ever go back to sea, I'll have my own cabin and at some point I'll be called Captain. Living in those conditions was part of the price to be paid to get command at sea. It aint so bad, all things considered.
Big "if," eh? I understand the "it ain't so bad" aspect of things...I was just having a bit of inter-service fun at your expense. And thanks for taking my old shopworn "Rodney King" joke in stride. I might drop that in the future, but don't get your hopes up...
