Great Movie!
 
Just finished watching "The Forgiven", a story of Desmond Tutu and the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission (TRC). Well worth watching.

The 10 part Ken Burns Vietnam show is on Netflix now. That is a good
binge show. You might even recognize some of the stuff although they
do seem to be talking more about the Marines in the first few shows I
have seen.

I have to admit that I've never enjoyed a Vietnam documentary of any kind. But, based on your
recommendation, I'll give it a shot. Most of today is supposed to be rainy anyway, and there's no
golf to watch. Besides, Tiger really disappointed me last weekend.

I had put off some outdoor projects thinking this week would be a
washout.

Last week the weather people were working overtime issuing dire warnings
of severe thunderstorms, torrential rains, flash flooding and all sorts
of calamities in our area starting last Saturday night and lasting for
most of this week.

I think I heard one, distant soft roll of thunder Saturday morning and
we had a few sprinkles that didn't even wet the roadways. Yesterday was
sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain. Looks like today will be
similar.

Maybe if I go out and start my projects the rain will quickly begin.
We need some rain around here. Lawns are drying up and running
sprinklers doesn't help ... just a waste of water.

Just the opposite here... 5 to 6 inches of rain the last few days, and
more scheduled for this week. On Sunday alone, Dulles Airport got 5
inches of rain. Some areas are really saturated, and I've seen news vids
of roads flooding over in low spots six feet deep. Here's a vid of the
Occoquan River adjacent to I-95 south of the DC Metro area...Normally,
it is a placid river...

We had over 6" here on Saturday. Yesterday morning loud thunder and lots of rain. Off and on
throughout the day. Today's forecast is 100% chance of thunderstorms throughout the day. I've got a
new bug deflector for the truck. Hopefully it'll dry up long enough to install it.

The whole front of my camper is covered with bugs. It'll probably
take an hour to clean up. Today we do the beartooth highway.
We've done it before but this time we have a dashcam.

Ya think? Virtually every one of his "stories" have been debunked. Remember him telling about being shot at somewhere in the South, then it turned out he just wrote a news article about it? The old boy has a bad case of the Brian Williams syndrome.

The latest product I'm trying is Dry Wash from Rain X. We just
came from the FMCA rally in Gillette. There are numerous products
that claim to chase dirt and bugs away. Mosr were expensive. One
product that cought my eye was a whole body shaker that claimed
to cure everything but cancer. The price range was from 1100 to
2500 dollars. A few minutes on the machine left you feeling
pretty good. A quick check on Amazon brought up prices around 200
dollars. Web MD says there could be some minor benefit to using
the machine but most of the claims are bogus. It pays to check
things out before you buy. For the brain dead (YKW) there is
always Consumer Reports to steer buying decisions.

Does Burns show when the command of Walter Kurtz was terminated? :)

From the comments by you and your little buddy, Donna, "Apocalypse Now" is where you got your
knowledge of Vietnam.

Was he your commander during your virtual tour over there?


The whole scenerio he described sounds s little fishy to me.


Ya think? Virtually every one of his "stories" have been debunked. Remember him telling about being shot at somewhere in the South, then it turned out he just wrote a news article about it? The old boy has a bad case of the Brian Williams syndrome.


Well, after all, his idol is Hillary.

Crikey...you drove your bus from Florida to Wyoming to attend an RV

Hell, man, maybe Greyhound will hire you to drive a real cross country bus.

We're flying out to North Dakota in September with stops in Montana and
South Dakota, where I'll catch up with an old college friend we used to
call Der Fliegende Holländer, because he is of Dutch ancestry and flew a
small,light plane. He actually is a retired dentist who now lives on the
farm he inherited from his folks. I spent a week on that farm about 55

Why would you go to North Dakota to visit a friend?

An RV rally is a great place to meet friends.

Those attending RV venues hope you'll avoid them.

I have to admit that I've never enjoyed a Vietnam documentary of any

recommendation, I'll give it a shot. Most of today is supposed to be
rainy anyway, and there's no
golf to watch. Besides, Tiger really disappointed me last weekend.



I had put off some outdoor projects thinking this week would be a washout.

Last week the weather people were working overtime issuing dire warnings
of severe thunderstorms, torrential rains, flash flooding and all sorts
of calamities in our area starting last Saturday night and lasting for
most of this week.

I think I heard one, distant soft roll of thunder Saturday morning and
we had a few sprinkles that didn't even wet the roadways.Â* Yesterday was
sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain.Â* Looks like today will be
similar.

Maybe if I go out and start my projects the rain will quickly begin.
We need some rain around here.Â* Lawns are drying up and running
sprinklers doesn't help ... just a waste of water.





Just the opposite here... 5 to 6 inches of rain the last few days, and
more scheduled for this week. On Sunday alone, Dulles Airport got 5
inches of rain. Some areas are really saturated, and I've seen news vids
of roads flooding over in low spots six feet deep. Here's a vid of the
Occoquan River adjacent to I-95 south of the DC Metro area...Normally,
it is a placid river...

My folks posted a video of the bridge near Dunkirk (rt4) that was
taking water over the road.
That is a lot of rain for you guys. 5" of rain here just means it is
tuesday ;-)
The week before Irma (Harvey) and the week of Irma gave me over 2 feet
in my rain gauge. I was emptying it a couple times a day and logging
the totals.

They are not really addressing the covert ops in the Cambodian
highlands that much. They do make some fairly critical comments about
the Phoenix Program.
LBJ does not come out well in this show. His own recordings are the
worst evidence about the lies he was telling the American public. They
are trashing Nixon now. (episode 7&8) He perpetuated the lies. They
are saying he was trying for a diplomatic solution but he still
widened a losing war.
The parallels to Iraq and Afghanistan are striking

.... and you ask me why I don't trust the government.

I have been working on the lawn tractor here. I had a piece of the
deck that broke, parts are unavailable so I fabricated the part.
The Ed Labrador Memorial Bridge is pretty much done. I may still have
a couple lights I want to put up at the top but the wiring is in
place.

Ahh, yes. We were coming home from a short trip to Bowie yesterday,
around 6 pm, and the cops had Route 4 shut down going south from the
WaWa. Couldn't see the water, but there was also a fire because we could
see the billows of smoke...probably a car wreck, flood related. Also a
few landslides near Chesapeake Beach. Had to turn around and then come
back down Route 2 to the merge with Route 4, just north of Huntingtown.

of calamities in our area starting last Saturday night and lasting for
most of this week.

I think I heard one, distant soft roll of thunder Saturday morning and
we had a few sprinkles that didn't even wet the roadways.Â* Yesterday was
sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain.Â* Looks like today will be
similar.

Maybe if I go out and start my projects the rain will quickly begin.
We need some rain around here.Â* Lawns are drying up and running
sprinklers doesn't help ... just a waste of water.





Just the opposite here... 5 to 6 inches of rain the last few days, and
more scheduled for this week. On Sunday alone, Dulles Airport got 5
inches of rain. Some areas are really saturated, and I've seen news vids
of roads flooding over in low spots six feet deep. Here's a vid of the
Occoquan River adjacent to I-95 south of the DC Metro area...Normally,
it is a placid river...

My folks posted a video of the bridge near Dunkirk (rt4) that was
taking water over the road.
That is a lot of rain for you guys. 5" of rain here just means it is
tuesday ;-)
The week before Irma (Harvey) and the week of Irma gave me over 2 feet
in my rain gauge. I was emptying it a couple times a day and logging
the totals.


Are you talking about the bridge over the Pax just north of Dunkirk? It
was pretty dry earlier this morning and yesterday...plenty of rain water
sloshing around, but no run off "rivers..."

I am not sure but it looks more like a small creek. I can't find the
picture now.

Ahh, yes. We were coming home from a short trip to Bowie yesterday,
around 6 pm, and the cops had Route 4 shut down going south from the
WaWa. Couldn't see the water, but there was also a fire because we could
see the billows of smoke...probably a car wreck, flood related. Also a
few landslides near Chesapeake Beach. Had to turn around and then come
back down Route 2 to the merge with Route 4, just north of Huntingtown.


Sometimes cops do good things, eh Krause?

Folks are trying to compare this with the Agnes floods but I doubt it
is anything like it.

Hell, man, maybe Greyhound will hire you to drive a real cross country bus.

We're flying out to North Dakota in September with stops in Montana and

Cooler and dryer there. 1700 other rv's attended the rally too.

The 10 part Ken Burns Vietnam show is on Netflix now. That is a good

do seem to be talking more about the Marines in the first few shows I
have seen.

I have to admit that I've never enjoyed a Vietnam documentary of any
kind. But, based on your
recommendation, I'll give it a shot. Most of today is supposed to be
rainy anyway, and there's no
golf to watch. Besides, Tiger really disappointed me last weekend.

We had over 6" here on Saturday. Yesterday morning loud thunder and
lots of rain. Off and on
throughout the day. Today's forecast is 100% chance of thunderstorms
throughout the day. I've got a
new bug deflector for the truck. Hopefully it'll dry up long enough to install it.

Pretty.
The whole front of my camper is covered with bugs. It'll probably
take an hour to clean up. Today we do the beartooth highway.
We've done it before but this time we have a dashcam.

Sounds like fun. I put this stuff on my rig this spring. Seems to work
very well at making bugs easy
to get off.

Where are you? We are in Glacier today. Going to violent Canada tomorrow.
Waterton. Forecast for some rain tomorrow.


I'm home. Justan is out running around burning up our non-renewable resources and contributing to
global warming.

Don't know about that. There'll be a bumper crop of corn this
year. I was out playing in the snow earlier today. Global
warming, really?

They using corn for diesel now? Hereabouts it's more like global wetting than warming. How was the
FMCA rally?
