Today, on this Fourth of July I spent the day walking on Utah and Omaha beaches, standing on top of Point du Hoc, visiting the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, and having lunch at the feet of the chapel in St Mer Eglies. An Independence Day I will never forget.

When the opportunity affords itself to play Carcassonne in Carcassonne, you go ahead and find yourself a castle wall and you take it. The mantra was "if it stays, it plays" a few tiles hung precariously at the end

I've said it before, crew chiefs are some of my favorite people. And it's good to see helicopter crews are the same on either side of the "pond". Got a copy and read it in a day while on the train around London. Solid job Chinook Crew Chick! #IfMaverickCouldHoverGooseWouldntHaveDied

The shioulette on the shirt looks enough like a CH-46, that I'm super into it. #FlyLikeYouGotAPair

Corpse instead of Corps, spells out MCMAP, and lists it as something to be feared tells me there was zero research. Look I know MCMAP .. enough said. Also for those of us who got to kick each other in the shins for MCMAP 'body hardening' .... time to get your prostate checked.

If you're a biker, on a 2 lane road with no shoulder and blind curves so there's no safe place to pass you during normal "drive to work times"....... I don't wish you harm but I really hope your lunch is overly salted and generally tastes bad.

Got passed over for promotion for the 5th time today and that sucks. BUT you know what? At least I didn't find out that I was unknowingly (or knowingly, who knows) doing the work of a foreign government to interfere in the elections of my own country. So it could be worse!

Like many, I remember exactly where I was 23 years ago today. "The Pentagon is on fire" is what a passing Midshipmen said as I walked to chemistry my plebe year on the yard. I assumed some idiot set a wastebasket on fire ... Little did I know ... #IWillNeverForget

I believe with my whole heart ... That Satan moves the souls in hell with a Dulles People Mover ....

The Millennium Falcon never could have hidden on the super structure of a star destroyer and pretended to be trash if the Empire had any sort of half way decent force protection.

When the opportunity to run down Runway 01R-19L at Dulles Airport (IAD) presents itself, you put on your fanciest Taco Cat running shirt and you do it. And then you take a picture in front of the best two helicopters ever. #IfMaverickCouldHoverGooseWouldntHaveDied.

Finally got Undergrove from Alderac to the table. At this point I'm buying any Elizabeth Hargrave game sight unseen. It's just banger after banger. So good. And with that @beth_sobel art? *chef's kiss*

I've made the choice to depart this platform. I have enough stress and I don't need to be adding to it with the craziness that is this hell site. Those that need me already have a way to contact me.
