Memorial Day in the USA.

Sitting here in Micky D's, cheaply using their free wifi, with Mr. Bravo patiently guarding the car outside (he'd welcome anyone in---showing them my wallet in the glove compartment!), and having one of their bottomless value Senior coffees. Same elderly hangout crowd, and we all chat in spurts, while I chase the ladies here on CS, and work on the revamp of memoirs, with my trying to be gracious in not directly answering too many medical questions. Borderline ethical professionally. So it's great to see the few military service veterans who always join us mornings, wearing their dark blue baseball style caps, with details of their particular military service on the front in bright yellow relief bold lettering. Marine corps (or as Obama would say "Corpse") nonagenarian at next table. Korea and Vietnam, methinks. Can't begin to imagine what he experienced, but sure am gratefully in awe of this kindly old soldier. Amazing how many people go over to him, personally thanking him for his service. We all chip in to buy the old coot a big Marine style breakfast. WOW!. Aa.
