Went to the city zoo with my girlfriend ... She thought the animals were cute.
I thought the animals would look better field dressed and cooking on my BBQ grill.

"I might not be Airborne however, it says it on my right sleave!"
I had me a decent day yesterday.
First I had a nice little meal at Appleby's. Free of course. All I had to do was show the waitress a picture of me when I was in the Army. I had several with me. Some from when I was stationed at Fort Hood, others after I got my wings and became a Paratrooper. Of course me wearing the OD Green Field Jacket I was issued in September 1975 helped. Had I been pressed I had a card from the County Clerk of Nassau County, NY, saying that my Honorable Discharge is listed in “Book 176 of Veteran Discharges”.
There were 5 current duty servicemen in uniform on the line when I was there. Two cammie wearing sailors, two in Dress Blue (One had Two sets of Jump Wings) and one in Class A’s fresh from AIT and headed for Hawaii. I wish them all well. Even the Navy pukes.
There was a Huge line of course. I forget how long the wait was. Eventually I got to be inside the doors. Soon, though, we were told if I didn’t want a table there were openings at the Full Service Bar. A couple and I headed for the vacancies very quickly.
The meal was free, but I still got stuck for a $3.00 soda. But I figured as they were giving away so many meals it was reasonable for them to at least collect on the drinks.
After a while more vacancies happened as people finished their meals. OK, I thought, as I drank some soda, the people up front aren’t exactly hurrying to get every single opening taken. OK, couples are heading for tables, not the bar. But there has to be others out there like me, alone and not caring about tables or the bar. So I told my cousin to my left that I’d be right back. I quickly looked through the line. I spotted a pair of camouflaged pants. The style of the colors and cut of the pants said the wearer didn’t buy the pants; they were issued. I asked him if he was alone. Yes he was. Could he stand the bar instead of a table? Sure. Follow me, cousin.
He had a copy of his DD214. Two pages. Talk about BTDT….Mine was only one page. We talked as I got my meal and he ordered his. He had 45 jumps, I have 35. We shook hands. He ordered his meal; almost exactly what I was having, just the sides were different.
And we just plain talked about our experiences. I have two pictures of F100’s flying around Fort Hood. Yep, that’s a good picture of them. He talked about Turkey in 1965.
Eventually I finished before his meal came around. Take it easy Bro. You too.
Just before I left I told the Ladies at the front desk they should tell the line about all the openings at their Full Service Bar. As I went through the door I heard them tell the line about the Bar…
….My next step was a Cloister Car Wash where Veterans could get a free car wash….
Hey…I earned it. I might have been in Peacetime and never been deployed, but I was ready had I been called. The Viet Nam Vet I saw missing the leg below his left knee earned his free meal too. I can never compare to what he gave, but when I was in I was ready to give as much as he did.
Beer is good....and a joint is good,
But the two together are incredible!

But even better; I finally got a shot in both knees yesterday. After first seeing my VA primary care Doc last March with the request and having x-rays in May of this year... A sneak preview of Obama care 101?

Fuck the goddamn thief who stole my wife's purse. I hope I run into the fucker so I can gouge out his tongue and leave him staked out in the Rockies for the fucking wolves!
