The image of the aging veteran or soldier remembering his buddies with a tear rolling down his face sums up this day; the one we call Remembrance day or Veterans day depending where you live…
Always a sad day(and even sadder as RULING human kind just doesn’t seem to, “get” ,the message about the futility of war…)
But I had the day off and have spent it so far rather unprofitably.
We DID go for a nice long walk this morning though. The weather was mildish but devilishly WET; not raining but the land so saturated that puddles are starting to form on top of the grass in the park.
Flooding is not far off…our little creek/river always overflows its banks but never to the point of threatening homes or streets. It just means that we can’t safely walk beside it after a certain stage.
