[pct-l] Jets and the PCT -FOD-

[calliger at infolane.com (calliger@infolane.com)]

Well..I might consider equating a hapy jet jockey
going to the ground to buzz me to my fiamce's snoring!

How you ask? Well..glad you did!! LOL


I used to be greatly bothered by her snoring 'till one day I 
realized how lucky I am to have her, how lucky I am to be
with her, and how lucky I am to be here and be able to here
her...

now..it is sort of a music that I smile to and fall back
to sleep..

Isn't attitude everything thought? We are here and able to hike
our own hike becasue of those jets! (and the strength of our
country and freedom...I hike in Hungary and was searched and
asked for my passport no less that 6 times in a week!!-
AND this was AFTER the Communists left!!)

However, do not get me wrong, I am no war-monger..in fact just the
opposite!--  but our country and way of life was founded on
the power of our resolve and weapons and army to throw off the
British rule of dominion and terror and persecution..You will love
the Chruch or we will kill you kinda stuff!! So today those
jets that buzz me are an extension of all that!

Semper Fi!

PPS_

AND...by the way..if you dont like then leave!!! (LOL)
