I remember my Dad telling me this years ago. Now at 76, I am experiencing this. Remember when you were a kid how summer vacation seemed like an eternity?

No matter how you put it, the face of evil.

I know someone who did some hard time. He said he slept with a BIC pen at Riker's Island. As far as I know, no one messed with him.

Our oldest son was just horrible when we tried to eat out when he was around 2. We just didn't, ate home or used a drive-in or take out. He finally outgrew it and none of our 3 other children were a problem.

How cool is that? Would be nice is other FD's and EMT's had them.

I'll add that time seems to move faster as you get older. I'm 76 and weeks seems to fly by. Remember when you were a kid how summer seemed an eternity.

It wasn't until I was older and had a grasp of history that I realized those guys were probably worried that they would ever get home. They may not have had any idea of the devastation of Germany at that time. I read that many who were farmers and worked on farms in CNY came back and bought land and farmed it after the war.

Remembering a POW facility at the old high school in Newark NY when I visited my Grandfather. I'd see the Germans sitting in the yard smoking, and walked on the other side of the street as I was afraid of them. Some of the "trustee" POWs worked in factories in Syracuse cleaning windows and such. My Dad who spoke German was one of the guys at the plant where he worked who oversaw the POWs. He told me there were Italian prisoners too who had Italian speaking overseers. I'm sure they were happy the war was over for them, but probably most just wanted to get home. Interesting history of which I saw a portion.

Are the signs at McD's in the Philippines in English? Just curious. Waiting for someone to do the same at say Burger King. Stuff on the net is all real, right?

OK, I'll bite---BUT--- [sarcasm]it's on Facebook, it can't be a set up, can it?[/sarcasm]

A doggy door would probably be fine for Otis. Cat doors are a bit small. We had them when we had cats so they could get out of the house if something happened while we weren't home. Someone get poor Otis a bigger door.

I remember riding by the place a few years after it closed. Sad sight.

Memories of riding on the milk man's wagon when they used them during WW2 because of gasoline rationing. Was cool for the milk man as the horse would walk down the street a ways as the milkman was making deliveries. It's also how I learned to "hit the ground running" for real. After rationing ended they went back to trucks and we were not allowed to ride in them.

Insect family Lampyridae, larvae are commonly known as glow worms. Not any down here in SW FL, but used to see them back in CNY.

What's scarier in today's world is the thought that it might be possible for someone to hack into the system and launch an attack.
