So a friends Father was being taken to the VA for a medical appointment. One of the Brother's was taking Dad for an unrelated health issue when all of a sudden the Son looked over and found his Father slumped to the passenger door. Dad was rushed in and it was found that he had a fast growing tumor in the brain, with bleeding. Dad fought like Dads do for a few days, but remained in a coma until finally slipping away with grace and dignity.

A friend of the family's lives a few doors down from Mom, and that friends Father was Marine Recon and happened to be in town and heard of this tragic event. This was his response at 2200.

I'm leaking from the eyes as I write this, for the second time this morning. God love that man for his kindness and God Bless you Dad. Rest in Peace.

That's actually not the first time a top woman's team has been beaten by high school boys teams. I know the US woman's soccer team has also lost I believe on more than 1 occasion. Multiple WNBA teams have as well, the US woman's hockey team scrimmaged boys HS teams to get prepared for the Olympics and usually lost unless it was a small no talent hack HS team. We're all equal in the eyes of the law (at least that's supposed to be the idea) but anyone that says women can compete with men are fools at best.

People buying the $300 combo

I was tapped to play taps and reveille a while ago in another life because I could play a brass instrument. The feeling of emotion, just playing into the sunset is something I cherish. Call me crazy. It means something extra.

Opossum vs. Possum

Possum-vs.-Opossum-760x400.jpg


Here’s a tip: Opossums and possums are different animals. Opossums live in North America, while possums live in Australia and other countries.

Both animals are marsupials, but possums are more closely related to kangaroos. But here’s where it gets confusing: in North America, people often shorten opossum to possum when talking about the creatures prowling around the backyard at night. One news source described an animal that you might see “wobbling across your yard at night” or “scurrying down the pavement with a batch of babies clutching onto its back.” What is the name of this beast? Without hesitation, you might exclaim “An opossum!” However, another person might call it a possum. Is there a difference between an opossum and a possum? Yes, there is. They are entirely different animals.
Possum vs. Opossum

In North America, the animal officially called an opossum is a white and gray marsupial of the order Didelphimorphia. English colonists living in Jamestown derived the word from its equivalent in Powhatan, a language spoken by the Virginia Algonquian tribe. Literally, the word means “white dog or beast” in Powhatan. John Smith spelled it “opassum,” but William Strachey spelled it “aposoum.”

Possums, on the other hand, live in Australia, New Guinea, Sulawesi, New Zealand, and China. Their name does derive from opossum. Sir Joseph Banks, a British botanist, thought they looked enough like the American opossum to give them a similar name. However, kangaroos and other Australian marsupials are closer relations than American opossums. Possums belong to the Diprotodontia order.

@barneybdb Our possums get drunk and raise hell.

Fort Walton Beach (WTFF) – An oppossum that got drunk on bourbon after breaking into a Florida liquor store had to sober up at a wildlife rescue center.

The possum was found by an employee at the liquor store on November 24.

He was passed out next to a broken and empty bottle of 750ml bottle of Courvoisier cognac, according to usatoday.com. Other news reports had originally said it was bourbon.

The drunken animal was taken to Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge to sober up.
