    Retirement, Free At Last

    I still have my Buzzard, 8 ball and fish hook count down (a play on the USMC insignia) that I colored in as the end of my tour in Chu Lai RVN approached back in 1969. May have to revive that one of these days! Of course dealing out a deck of cards in bridge suit order is also useful way to...

    Retirement, Free At Last

    Congratulations! I am under contract until July 2013 and the silly season of elections and bill filings for the 2013 legislative session is already wearing on me. I planned to work until age 70 in 2017 as my wife won't be 66 until September 2016 but I am already wavering! Enjoy! Bill Uffelman...

    Rescue swimmers

    Wandering Sagebrush did they ever have you practice water rescue from H34? At MARTD NAS Norfolk all aircrew had to qualify on rescue hoist and "saving" survivors including putting gunner into the water. Of course we had no sophisticated swim equipment other than being Marines. 8>)) Kudos to the...

    The richest dog in town

    When we lived in Morris Plains NJ our Shih Tzu would get locked up in the drunk tank at the jail as there was no dog pound. He thought he was a sheep dog and would make a break for it every time the 4 small kids hit the door. He would "help" the cop direct traffic at an awkward intersection by...

    INCREDIBLE PREDATOR

    Definitely an over achiever! We captured shots of Osprey and Dolphins feeding on the same school of fish at Ocean View DE back in 2010. Watching is a great way to pass the time on the beach. Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV and Ocean View DE

    Toyota Highlander Tow Vehicle

    Jeep Grand Cherokee with 6 cyl is rated at 5000 pounds -- not sure how it will do in hill country but the Hemi will certainly handle it. Hemi cuts back to 4 cyls when not under load so good 20+ mpg same as the 6. With 5.7L V8 it is rated at 7400 pounds...

    Baltimore C-dorys? Boating on Chesepeak bay, property.

    As with all real estate choices it is location, location, location. Baltimore area traffic can be a pain. Where will you be working in relation to water? A crappy commute can destroy the joy of living on the water. Classic row homes near the inner harbor can be a great choice if you are working...

    Coast Guard - Court Marshal

    As noted Article 32 is like a two sided Grand Jury -- defense and prosecution both get to present evidence and the hearing officer makes a recommendation to the convening authority as to what charges if any should be submitted to a court martial. Not sure how the Coast Guard handles things but...

    Mrs Byrd suffers brain aneurysm

    Drove through Tennessee week before Thanksgiving on I40 enroute to Delaware and earlier this week returning to Las Vegas. Thought of Byrd family as we crossed the various rivers that are part of the Loop and discussed my continuing desire to make the journey someday. Our best to the family...
