Screaming Eagle Found in Louisiana
A WWII gliderman (glider crew member) with a heavy Cajun accent is still alive and living in Louisiana. As a member of a glider crew (n this case, the 321st “Screaming Eagles” Glider Field Artillery Battalion, 101st Airborne Division), delivering troops and supplies into Normandy, he might have been found sitting in a Jeep, waiting […]
Weekend Open Thread
I just want all of you to know that in October this year, an asteroid about 330+/- feet in diameter is (MAYBE) going to possibly, but also possibly not, hit Earth. It is NASA 2007 FT3, with an 8-year orbital period. You may recall that in the winter of 2012-2013, a (not 300-foot) – correction, […]
Jim “Peewee” Martin Takes One More Jump Into Normandy
WWII 101st Airborne paratrooper Jim “Peewee” Martin makes a repeat jump into Normandy at the tender age of 93. You can either sit on it and wither away to nothing, or you can be like Peewee here. It ain’t over ’til he says it’s over. Granted, it was done in 2014 on the 70th anniversary […]

Ice is On!!!!

The Queen Has Passed….
Sad news. CNBC (and other venues) reports that Aretha passed yesterday, due to advanced pancreatic cancer. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/16/queen-of-soul-aretha-franklin-has-died-ap-citing-publicist.html Who else in the world could make a long-term, memorable hit out of one word: R-E-S-P-E-C-T?
