12 (Not right)

We exchanged our Christmas gifts this morning. Yeah, the day before. Not all traditions are good. Some are though and those are the ones that I would like to keep. Cousin Suzy dressing up like a chicken every Fourth of July and running down the dirt road beside the river trailer is one of those traditions. Opening gifts on Christmas Day is another one.

My cousin Achilles came down to the lower 48. He's been to Iraq and might be going back. The army's been good for him. Our country is blessed to have a huge amount of great warriors. We need to be careful to use them for good purpose. Global police is not the purpose of the United States military.

Peace. Even to you people who drive in the extreme outside lane going no faster than the person to your right.
