    Cold War Memories

    Was in Lahr in '78 as a part of a fly-over troop attached to the RCD.  After seeing bases in Canada with nice white buildings with green trim etc, and flying into Lahr with the dull green buildings, bunkers, wire etc was sobering.... but only until we hit Gasthof Greif. Wurst Salad!  That was...

    And you thought your day was bad........

    Apparently it's due to construction heading into Beijing.  They are looking at it being cleared up mid-September when the job is done.  There is a real growth industry developing with people on bicycles selling food and water.

    Pierre Berton's "Marching as to war"

    I've got a copy and read it a couple of years ago.  What struck me was how little things have changed over the years in terms of "inter-war" mindsets and decisions.

    Top CBC executive leaves broadcaster

    It's time to make the CBC go it alone, and if they make it, great, good on them, if not, too bad so sad.  But they need to do it without having to rely on taxpayers to subsidize them.

    Memorial in Point Pelee National Park

    The photo in the link stating that the memorial was in Point Pelee, I don't believe is very accurate.  It looks nothing like the Park.

    Memorial in Point Pelee National Park

    I haven't been to the Point in a few years.  From the pictures this looks fairly new.  I'll have to check it out.  It has a great message however.

    McChrystal Has Some 'Splainin' to Do....

    The quoted article did indicate the Army was ramping up their investigation into the situation.  Keeping Hastings away from their pers seems like a prudent thing to do, at least until their investigation is complete.

    3 Aug 10: LBN forces fire at IDF work party+IDF fires back=five dead

    Love the headline: "Israel Troops Shell Small Village".  That's not misleading at all.  ::) I certainly hope things don't escalate.

    4 CER Germany Guys, I need some help with a Jeep restoration.....

    Are you looking specifically for jeeps from engineer units, or would any from 4 CMBG work.  It's been quite a while, but I should be able to dust off some albums and pull a couple from the RCD.

    USA/Mexico Border

    :stirpot:  There's a reason they are stationed on their northern border, close to a lot of important built-up areas.

    Combat arms rivalry

    Not to worry.  You're not going to be breaking some rule by having a few pops with some friends who are not Arty.  I think you'll find that once you get into your unit, you will naturally hang out primarily with other gunners.  It's only natural, what with common interests, and shared...

    "Ottawa barbershop won't cut woman's hair"

    My barber has a plan that seems to work for him.  He leaves a lot of Playboys and Maxims in plain sight all over his shop.  He does it to discourage the women from coming in and staying.  Seems to work.  Strange though, it keeps the guys in longer.
