Memorial Day Weekend Wrap-Up
Just a quick weekend re-cap for those who are too lazy to navigate the local blogs now that Mark “The Righteous Fist” Souder has shut down all of the Indiana meth labs…

John Good blogged a great piece on his father, who was obviously an American worth our admiration and respect.
  • William Larsen took a brief moment to talk about parades and his own experiences.

  • Mike Sylvester publishes an unsurprisingly lengthy tome of his thoughts and feelings on Memorial Day…(you know we love ya, Mike!)

  • Coffee tells a tale of redneck relatives at a weekend family gathering. Be advised: due to a busted-ass template and Blogger’s failure to trackback properly, you’ll just have to go to her homepage and scroll down until you see a post titled “The Rednex.”

  • Mat Rupert (“Native With Leave” in the parlance of FWOb) throws a backyard campfire party (and lives to tell the tale) with a little introspective on the male human psyche.

  • Tim Baron from Fort Wayne Area Artists unleashes a fine new B&W for comment (ok, not Memorial Day related, but the timing was appropriate and hey, he obviously had this artwork on his mind this holiday weekend!).

  • Leo Morris offers some post-holiday commentary on wars and the sometimes-ugly business of soldiering and warring.

  • Bartleby checked out for the weekend.
I think that just about wraps up everyone who had a weekend/Memorial Day related post. If I had to make a wager, I’d say AWB and Craig were fishing, though it’s unlikely that they were together. The Heart of Gold could make a VERY long trip based on that level of improbability…then again, the Universe might just implode.

Is that from the original Hitchhiker's Guide? I haven't seen the movie yet...

I did some fishing, but no catching. I blame it on the heat.

I have a nice sunburn on my knees though.

Yeah, my wife has one of those sunburns too. Although, hers is from outdoor novel-reading as we have not yet re-upped our Indiana fishing licenses...I'd better get on that. The bass seemed to be biting on Little Long at dusk, so there was some excitement to be had. There's nothing quite like seeing a 4-year-old girl grab on to a 13" fish on 3' SpongeBob fishing pole....LOL

BTW Mike: Yes, that is from the BBC version of HHGG...which is terrible, but amusing to those of us who enjoy the occasional classic Dr. Who episode...

Glad to see the blogohood's has some hoopy froods. "Kaduk's just this guy, you know?"

(I saw the TV Hitchhiker's on DVD a couple of weeks ago; didn't think it was all that funny, except for Marvin. The FX were amusing.)

That was a nice (and unexpected) shout-out, and I thank you for it.
