Hey Gary, good one. Sissies Lol. Remember when cars had that small side window to let air in. I wonder if kids nowadays know what roll down your window mean. I think we had ac in our family car, but my folks never put it on, because they thought it was frivolous and burned more gas. That box fan...

I have an Airfix box of 54mm soldiers that broke into many parts after 20-years. Maybe its the humidity in Hawaii that destroyed them.

Currently listening to Ken Burns on the Joe Rogan podcast. Episode 2336. Most notably his talk on the Revolutionary War. He also talked about baseball, boxing, Vietnam war. Excellent. I learned a lot.

I was having some bourbon yesterday and recalled wanting to name my son Race, but I ended up having three daughters. So I told my youngest daughter if she'd like to have the nickname Scout from To Kill a Mocking Bird, but she said no, so it didn't stick. We'd tease her, Erin barbarian.

I'm hoping it'll be as enjoyable today as when I was a kid. Trying to recapture my youth, like collecting toy soldiers.

Its in my cart and ready to order. Thanks Louis.

Jonny Quest is also my favorite cartoon. Lots of action. I should have bought the DVD with all the episodes from Costco years ago.

Last night they had this episode on MeTV. Gary left out this funny part. Archie thinking that the black guy was god, went to his knees and said, The Jeffersons were right.

Dimestore soldier diorama. I don't believe I've seen one on the forum. Nice!

Those were good. Another good one was when Archie went on TV to talk about preventing air hijacking. You pass out the guns to all the passengers when they board and collect the guns when they deplane. Problem solved. Case closed.

They have the Honeymooners. Still funny today. Sadly they took out Gomer Pyle USMC.

I wasn't keen on removing Confederate names of our army bases. I always thought these names could be a teachable moment of history. When Lee surrendered to Grant, Grant wanted to have the confederate states be a part of the union without antagonizing these states. For instance, Lee was allowed...

I was disappointed with the parade coverage. I thought it would be covered like the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. What units are coming up, describing the armor etc. All I saw were snippets of coverage. Congrats to the army for defending the constitution and our country.

I saw on the news that Fort Moore will be changed back to Fort Benning.

How do you like the Ukraine soldiers? They look pretty good.
