We spent the day recuperating from our Desert Adventure.
I, for one, struggled with the fact that I had gained 3.4 kilos/7.5 lbs. during the non-stop feasting in La Quinta over the past few days.
Delicious but definitely, NOT GOOD!
I was back on the diet as of this morning.
While we were recovering, news kept arriving from the city of Astoria, Oregon.
The Northwest Civil War Council's
Battle for Clatsop County
Our family of Civil War Reenactors was in the Pacific Northwest for a weekend of battles.
Welcomed dispatches from their remote outpost arrived constantly.
Jacob and Michael were
fighting for the Union today
As usual, they were happy
to be with fellow reenactors
At just 14, celebrating the
250th Anniversary of the USA
in a living history kind of way
This soldier is, as his Grandfather
Jorge used to say, a Bicentennial Baby
Young Mary visiting the troops
She might be part of an early USO group.
Girls . . .
. . . just . . .
. . . want to have FUN!
Back home, Laurie was getting
into the Fourth of July spirit
Thoughts from the net . . .
Sad to report that I have only
dined at one of these highly ranked
spots, Moo's Craft Barbecue
Perhaps I've found my Summer 2026 assignment.
No, wait, I need to get back on my diet.
I am a Birthright Citizen
Does Our Glorious Leader and ICE know about my citizenship status?
Of course, much of the day was spent watching the last three games of the World Cup's Round of 32 play.
Today's results were:
Egypt (2-0-2) advances beating
Australia (1-2-1), 4-2 in a Penalty Kick
Shootout after tying 1-1 in regulation
Argentina (4-0) won a thriller over
Cape Verde (0-1-3), 3-2
Egypt (2-0-2) and Argentina (4-0) will
play each other on July 7th in a
Round of 16 match-up
Colombia (3-0-1) edged Ghana (1-2-1),
1-0, and will now face Switzerland (3-0-1)
in a Round of 16 contest on July 7th
The World Cup started with
48 teams, now we're down
to just 16
Tomorrow is the Fourth of July and the 250th Anniversary of the birth of our nation. We hope that you all enjoy the day with family and friends and I pray that I don't overeat again on the day's joyous holiday feasting.
