Granny


 

My contribution to the war effort. Yes, it's been a while. And yes, this meme's been around a few years. I wanted to use an original, never-before-published photo...either a picture I took, or one from my private collection.

Here's the story behind this photo.

This is my grandmother, and she was quite the card.

Photo taken probably right after World War II. Her husband, my grandfather, had just come home to her and my mother from the Aleutian Islands (Adak), where he served as a US Navy SeaBee. I believe he was drafted in early 1944, and he was NOT young...maybe his mid 40's at the time. This tells me they were maybe scraping the bottom of the barrel, and that "leadership" was forcing just about anybody into the meat grinder at that point.

Grandpa Art died 10 years later. I never knew him, and I am sorry about that.

Grandmother soldiered on many more decades, remarried and widowed twice more.

She was a sweetheart and a free spirit.

Eclipse This!



Pagan motherfuckers are freaking the hell out over the eclipse here in the Midwest.

I hope it clouds up and thunderstorms on their asses.

Our local overlords have declared a "state of emergency" in order to "keep us all safe."  They don't want all the sky gazers to park on the shoulders, but at the same time they've closed all the rest areas and scale houses along the way.

Fucking idiots the lot of them.

If the number of retards expected to invade the region is accurate, this will be a goat fuck of epic proportions.

Hawt half naked hippie chicks dancing and twirling around smoking weed and chanting and having orgies and stuff.


Wait...that sounds kinda cool.

Anyhoo...I'm glad I have Mondays off and I won't have to be involved with any of this foolishness.

I'm gonna kick back in my backyard, fire up a fatty, and blast Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon."

Y'all be cool.
