Malvinas, Dos

Once again, Argentina is squabbling over not having possession of the Falkland Islands [referred to by them as Islas Malvinas]. Who cares about flyspecks? When there's oil involved, everyone does!!
This time around I do not see things coming to blows. While the British force levels have dropped perilously since 1982 [Round I], the Argentine forces have pretty much putrified. Lesson from Desert Storm: Quality will always trump Quantity. [Yes, I realize that there IS a limit; of COURSE there is. The British forces are not at it.] Word.

Redux

Back to Portland. Back to Hippie-ville ;-) Back to temporary jet-lag, but alas, that too will pass. Back to running at Grant Park. I ran once while I was back in Virginia Beach: 53 and change to Rudee Inlet and back, along the boardwalk; it's 5.2 miles and seemed a bit longer. Been concentrating on shorter stuff on the track, building more speed. Time to cross it up and work on endurance, I guess.

Cuz was mentioning that it is time to share pics of the FB account holder with their significant other. I don't have one. I guess I could post one of WW from the movie with Murron, but that would be even farther out than posting a pic of Mel as my doppelganger ;-) Besides, I kinda like the blue wode and the maniacal expression in his eyes. Actually, I do not have many pics of me with former significant others.... not really sure why [guess they have passed to history]. I do have the nice one of Nikki and I at the hangar dance on Valentine's Day, 2009 [for those who are interested in seeing it, please check out my photo collection on Facebook].

President's Day is Monday. Thank you, Abe. Thank you, General Washington. Hail to the Chief :-) I'm working. Mardi Gras is Tuesday, so Lache pa la Potat`, eh? I'm working that day, too! Ash Wednesday is [you guessed it!] Wednesday. Not Catholic, no ashes. Working. hahaha!

Looking forward to seeing the gang again. Nice yukking it up at breakfast with Denine and the cats I work with; nice getting filled-up at Anna's [howdy to Anna herself, Amanda, and Shoesy {Liz} haha!].

Time to hit the rain locker. Good luck to Kevin, who is close to being selected for Job Corps. Good morning to all. I'll write more when I can.
