A Book. Drill Weekend. Snow?

May sound stupid but I think everyone should read the book Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss. I picked this book at the thrift store and read it to my daughter and it hit me. This book speaks the truth, and remember - "98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed."

A dilemma or a question; when should I put up my Christmas tree? For those that don't know me, must know I love Christmas. I am not one to put up the tree the day before Christmas. I put it up weeks in advance and take it down weeks later. I see it as a decoration and love the mood it causes. Also have no idea where to put it in the new house. Sadly this year I will not be able to put up lights around the house.

Drill weekend done and as usual it went well. Again offered opportunities for classes and even spending two weeks at the reserve center verifying medical records but these things tend to not get funded and approved. We had a fashion show on Saturday with the uniform inspections and Sunday the PRT. PRT went well again and passed.

Looking to a full week at work and clean up around the house and start to decorate for Thanksgiving. Have to keep going with my wood pile splitting for this winter. I got a good chunk done already but need more as I love to turn on the fireplace as much as possible. Snow may be forecasted for the end of the week.

Finished reading The Marks Of Cain by Tom Knox and found the book entertaining. The book got me to know a little about Cagots and their background in the Basque Country. The ending of the book got you to think why the holocausts might have happened. My next read I went with a shorter book in Asimov's Foundation and Empire.

With the elections around the corner I find this short clip very appropriate.
