Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

Happy Birthday Caroline!

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Lieutenant Colonel Francis J. Herron (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on May 7, 1862, at Pea Ridge, Arkansas. His citation reads:

Was foremost in leading his men, rallying them to repeated acts of daring, until himself disabled and taken prisoner.

Corporal Leander Herron (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on September 2, 1868, near Fort Dodge, Kansas. His citation reads:

While detailed as mail courier from the fort, voluntarily went to the assistance of a party of 4 enlisted men, who were attacked by about 50 Indians at some distance from the fort and remained with them until the party was relieved.

Colonel Francis S. Hesseltine (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on December 29-30, 1863, at Matagorda Bay, Texas. His citation reads:

In command of a detachment of 100 men, conducted a reconnaissance for 2 days, baffling and beating back an attacking force of more than a thousand Confederate cavalry, and regained his transport without loss.


RIP to my cousin Jimmy. I’m going to miss you, buddy.



We’d like to take a second here to wish our little friend Caroline a very happy birthday! We hope her mommy and daddy give her everything she wants today. They won’t, of course, but that won’t keep me from hoping.
