Editor’s Note: Gaylon is working on a project and most elements of The Daily Dose – Leading Off, The Sunday Bottom 5, On This Date, Some Philosophy Crap, Trivia – are either on hiatus or running intermittently. Your full-service Daily Dose will return later this summer.
Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
The Diary of a Nobody – At the convention, Sparrow enjoys a brewski with a couple of comrades. Today’s Diary.
A couple of things about Les: one, he’s been married for 60 years, which would have caused me to whistle if I could do so without slobbering over myself because regular readers of this crap know The Ex and I threw in the towel before making it to ten years of wedded bliss.
The second thing Stanko pointed out after Les left: he was put in for the Medal of Honor – our country’s highest military award – for unspecified heroics in Vietnam, tho the rats at the Pentagon ended up issuing Les the next-highest award, the Distinguished Service Cross, itself an award that is hardly passed out with the rations.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
Hitler was convinced his own destiny would eventually lead him to success…he tuned out all but affirmative voices.
