Where Have You Been?

It has been a while and in that time I took a quick road trip to southern Utah. The drive out was overnight and I was amazed to drive down Las Vegas Strip to find it empty that time of night, but more amazing were the views at sunrise as we entered Utah. I will say God spent some extra time in in this part of the world.

I am still honoring fallen heroes in the funeral honor detail. I will say this is a very rewarding job that cannot really be described but I am very lucky to have the chance to do. I do not sit in front of a computer or sell merchandise. I do not make $1000s or are seen as a successful person in today's world that is measured by pay. I am blessed to be allowed to honor heroes and their families for their courageous, faithful and honorable service. This honor can never be purchased but earned and witnessed by those few.

Father's day came and went and it was a very nice afternoon with Natalia and my parents as we celebrated two fathers that day. Also during the past month since the last post Natalia finished kindergarten and received some awards for her advanced skills. That is no surprise to me,

My latest hobby has been me getting back into miniature painting. So far I am enjoying it and getting techniques down to make my miniatures game look better on the table. As with all my hobbies they take a toll in the wallet. I also finally managed to make it out for a Sunday mountain bike ride this past Sunday and as always great company but a bit warm.

Still slowly reading The Perils of Peace and also Eon. I will say my reading this past month has slowed down much. On the comic books, thus far Civil War 2 is not bad but as with all these big events, they start with a "punch" and tend to fade away quick.

Rant: I want to take this time to point out a recent even not much talked about here but one that is of great importance and that would be the recent Brexit vote for Great Britain to leave the EU. It is amazing how people forget WWII where Great Britain was a great power in the war against Germany and now Germany takes over all Europe. We still have WWII veterans in Great Britain that remember very clearly the war and have to sit back and be taken over. I am glad Great Britain decided to no longer put up with the many leashes Germany had over them. Ironically we did the same over 200 years ago and now we must stand and cheer for them in their time. So many "experts" claim they can't make it. How? The EU is just a recent "government" and all European countries did fine alone before. This is clearly an experiment in a "One World Government" and it shows that the many restraints put on its people will not be accepted.
