Three carriers

My brother sent me the picture below (click on it to make it larger). This was his Sunday morning. His suggested caption was
'Check Us Out! We Can Show Up At Your Doorstep Anytime We Want With Three Carrier Strike Groups, B*****s!'

This was part of the largest naval exercise in the Pacific since the Vietnam war. His ship is two back from the center carrier. He said if you squint real hard you can maybe see him in one of the windows. He was impressed by the B-2 in the picture. Said they reminded him of Senator Amidala's craft in Episode 2.
I'm glad he's out there showing the bad guys that there are real consequences to being bad guys. Thank you very much!

I can't believe that I'm married to this freak! No seriously, I get goosebumps when he sends me stuff like this or tells me about launching missiles. I sleep easier (with North Korea right around the corner) knowing that they are out there and can kick A@#! I wish that it were this glorious for him every day. I'm very, very proud!

What an incredible image. I am very impressed! Not only is the picture and awesome sight, but knowing that our forces are all lined up in preparation of an aggresive act, makes me relieved. And Hans, I am extremely proud of you and your commitment. Go Navy!

2024 Olympics?

Next week the US Olympic Committee will decide if they'll bid on the 2024 Olympics (I'm betting they will) and may decide on which city they'll put forth to host.  There are four cities on the host list: Boston Los Angeles San Francisco Washington DC I've long believed that if the US bids on 2024, they will win.  The US hasn't hosted an Olympics since Salt Lake City in 2002 and no summer games since Atlanta in 1996.  Given the importance that the US has, particularly in funding, a 28 year gap is a huge one. So who gets the nod?  I have absolutely no insider knowledge but I'd like to make some guesses.  Pure speculation to follow. San Francisco is an interesting choice.  The Bay Area is certainly beautiful.  I'm guessing (I haven't checked into it) that there are enough venues in NoCal to satisfy the sporting requirements.  Between the professional teams (six?) and the number of big time colleges, there must be.  Throw in the big mo...

Box Elder Bugs

Yesterday morning's breakfast started badly. I'd split my bagel in half and was ready to toast it when I noticed a BOX ELDER BUG sitting on the toaster. The FP Gal tried to help remove him but it looked like he went into one of the slots. Not cool. She then shook out the toaster over the garbarge while I helpfully supervised from the other side of the kitchen. After that we couldn't see it in the toaster. So...we did a test run to smoke it out. Nothing. After careful inspection I finally toasted my bagel. Carefully checked it for embedded insect. Found it clean and ate it. Whew! This morning I sliced my bagel. And found another Box Elder bug on the toaster. The FP Gal was still asleep so I had to take care of it myself. Kleenex over mouth, eyes barely open and a quick paper towel latter it was gone. Seriously, if I find another one tomorrow we have to sell the house.
