Memorial Day

I didn't forget as we were away all weekend (see me previous post) but today is Memorial Day here in the United States. The day we pay respect to the men and women who have fallen defending our country and of our allies who have also died in the cause of liberty and freedom. May you all R.I.P.

Memorial Day Weekend

Just got back from Wisconsin where we spent Memorial Day weekend with the in-laws. We kept busy helping them get ready for their new house to be put on the foundation on Tuesday. But it wasn't all work as I did get to play a little. Here's me on the quad having a little fun.

Chron.com | Veterans' ID Theft May Be Largest Ever

They waited two weeks to inform the FBI???? Someone needs to be fired right now.

Chron.com | Veterans' ID Theft May Be Largest Ever: "Veterans Affairs officials waited two weeks to call in the FBI to investigate the theft of sensitive personal data, delaying a warning to 26.5 million veterans now at risk in one of the nation's largest security breaches. Lawmakers from both parties demanded answers."

Unleash the Fury!

Unleash the fury! Went to Pops last night and saw Yngwie Malmsteen unleash the fury on us. I do have to say the man is an impressive guitarist but...it didn't do a lot for me. His playing is phenomenal but everyone else in the band is just there in the background. The songs themselves aren't really what I would call songs. Just a vehicle for him to solo and do guitar histronics. Not that there is anything wrong with that or that at times I don't want to see and hear it. But after seeing Steve Vai last year and what he does with his band I was left underwhelmed by Yngwie.

On a more positive note the opening band was Orange Sky from Trinidad. I was impressed by them as it seemed was the crowd. The lead singer/guitarist put it this way: "we aren't out to be the loudest or heaviest, just to make good music". That they did so check them out.

Unwed couple with kids lose vote

This is just so wrong. This is a family but since they don't meet the "Christian" definition they can't be a family? Welcome to America 2006.

New Air Force dress uniform?

Have to admit it doesn't look to bad. The colour might need to be a little lighter blue as to get away from the stormtrooper look though.

Laura Bush doesn't believe bad polls - Yahoo! News

Maybe if she got out away from the handpicked crowds and talked to the man/woman in the street reality might set in.
