Brian, Saturday, October 7, will be the day of the big gathering in Lincoln, if all goes well.  Friday (and late Thursday) will be traveling days for us to get there, and we'll return home on the 8th and 9th.  At least three birthdays will also be celebrated (some in advance of the actual event by a week or so), but at least two of the birthday people involved should probably have hugs instead of cake.

I think this august group will definitely give Mooks something for her memoirs!  I don't know if we'll ever get to read them--she's probably using scratch paper!

  I agree with the above statement. We still have a lot of people in this country who do not seem to realize that we are at war with a bunch of Islamic Pervert terrorist thugs who want nothing less than to kill Christians, Jews and anyone else whom they can not convert to their sick, twisted ideology. 343 fire fighters lost their lives when the twin towers in New York City collapsed, and I think that a number of them were hurt by the dust and whatever else was in the billowing clouds of smoke that they ended up inhaling, to the point that they will be having some health issues for a long time to come.

Good Tuesday morning to each and everyone !  Currently not raining here, but there
is rain all around our area.  They say we have a 100% chance of showers today.

Mookie, bet your memoirs will be really good reading!Blush [:I]Cool [8D]Wink [;)]

Coffee is ready, along with orange juice, tea (hot and iced) and hot chocolate/cocoa.

Breakfast is fixed, and on the warmer bar:  bacon, sausage, homemade biscuits,
sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, rice, toast, bagels, blueberry muffins,
oat muffins. 

Remembered last night to put my note on the front door, for people coming this
morning to sign up for Produce Day.  No one rang the doorbell, or knocked on the
door before 7 a.m.!! 

Everyone have a good morning, be careful, and if there are any requests for lunch
and supper tonight, please let me know.

Mook has invited me and since everyone is interested in meeting me, I will come. That time in October is usually when the drama department at school is working on getting the fall musical ready to go, but I think I can talk the drama teacher into letting me miss a Saturday. It'll be nice to get to meet some of the people I talk to almost everyday here on the forum.

Afternoon All,

Sorry I didn't drop in this morning. Every once in awhile when we get a good rain, our internet connection at work goes haywire. Alas, this morning proved to be one of those times.

Mook, I've been kind of contemplating a Nebraska trip one of these days, and may look into a glorified weekend when you've got all the big names in town. I'd have to see how my sched. works out though, as my sisters will be in town from Oct. 12th - 17th. Will advise once I know a bit more.

Meanwhile, speaking of trips, I'll be back in IL for my annual White Pines State Park Weekend / Thanksgiving trip. I haven't set official dates yet, but I'll definately be in the vicinity for the weekends of Nov. 18/19 and Nov. 25/26 and the week betwixt those two. Carl, et al., would love to meet up during that time span if possible. I'll let you know when I have the dates firmly set.

Well, I suppose I must get back to work here. Hope you all have a great afternoon, and I'll catch you all later.

TTFN!

Hope you all make it, would make for a great weekend...

Like Carl, I too am interested in meeting Willy, Mookie says he is A number one with a bullet, so should be very fun.

With a humpmaster, a mudchicken, and a yard snake all in one spot, we should be able to answer almost all of the Mookies questions..almost.

 

As for todays date...I was flipping through a buch of photos, taken by my Dad and his crew back in the 40s...and I came upon one that shows him, in his Chiefs uniform, on the bow of the DE he served on during WWII...and I realized that his generation managed to pretty much conquer the world in four years...they waged a war across Europe, in Aisa and the Middle East.

Its been five years since the 9/11 attacks...so I wonder what happend to us?

I've no doubt that you're right about the just rewards, CP.

Back to HQ's post now (HQ=Hammock Queen, AKA SJ, AKA Mookie):

I'm hoping that I'll be able to get the vacation days I need to go to Lincoln (they'd better let me go--some reservations have already been made!).  And I hope you can make it, too, Willy--the way SJ talks about you, I'd be delighted to get to meet you.  And meeting Ed and Aimee for the first time would be a treat--I envy Ed's way with words, and both of them have hearts as big as the state they're visiting from.  If MC and BH can attend as well, we'd be having a real Forum Summit out there.

SJ says her abode is being spiffed up for our visit--I wonder if she can get BNSF or other parties to spruce up or expand the parking facilities at the Hallowed Ground.  Don't think I'd want to stop the BNSF, though, and I hope that anyone from there who joins our party would actually be a welcoming committee.

As a Christian, I believe that there are angels present in our lives. I also believe that there were a multitude of angels on hand at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and that bare field in Pennslvania where the fourth plane went down. Those who had placed their trust in Christ Jesus were escourted home. And I can not help it but feel that the 19 Islamic Pervert terrorists who committed this attrocity against our people were seized by angels and dragged off to Hell. And from all that I have been seeing in the news for the last few years, I am now convinced that we are indeed living in the last days before the great tribulation occurs.

Good morning.

Today is a very sad day. The gloomy conditions outside seem very fitting. I will always remember September 11, 2001.

It's a day off today so I might do some train watching or just read a good book. I also have a little bit of homework to finish up.

Have a good day.

Brian, you get your wish:  homemade chicken noodle soup, along with beef vegetable
soup and grilled cheese or PB&J sandwiches will be on the lunch menu.

Sactoguy, you get your wish also:  along with the chicken noodle and beef vegetable
soup, there will be meat loaf, buttered peas and mashed taters as the blue plate
specials
today, for both lunch and supper tonight. 

And yes, today is a very somber day; kind of seems half way appropriate for it to
be cloudy, overcast, and/or raining today.  I'm sure everyone's thoughts and prayers
are with the families and friends of all those who perished on that horrible day.

Good Monday morning to everyone.  Joe and Larry, you are so right:  it is very hard to
believe that five years has passed.  We have several memorials around the area to-
day/this evening. 

Does anyone have any special requests for lunch and supper today?  If so, please
let me know by 10 a.m. EDT.

Yes, and I still remember extremely vividly that morning when I logged onto Airliners.net's discussion forum on the Civil Aviation section--someone had mentioned a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. I knew something was serious and I turned on the TV to watch Fox News Channel, where I saw the replay of the second plane crash into the other WTC tower. Needless to say, I was totally rivetted to the TV for the rest of the day.

As a dedication to the many who passed away untimely that day, I want for both lunch and supper a Blue Plate Special of meatloaf, buttered peas and mashed potatoes. Thumbs Up [tup]
