It was nice having a real day off..
I spent some time thinking about the real meaning of Memorial Day..   I personally only know a few folks who died in the military.. Adam Mueller down the street who died in Afghanistan, My 3rd cousin who died iwhiel serving in the Israeli Army.. and .. by story only, my friend Aarons friend who died after serving in Afghanistan  with Aaron.. That’s the guy he was Abel to say good uy to finally while visiting the temple at burning man

War seem s so senseless.. even so .. I hook the folks on all sides who chose.. or didn’t choose to serve.

Anyone who has lost someone close knows how precious life is.. I believe if everyone truly understood that. wars would stop…

but it probably will need happen that everyone has that awareness at the same time..

if only it could happen.

I spent it wrestling with replacing a pipe joint that had been leaking inside of a walled off part of our house for who know how long. I had to vut into the wall to find it.. and I’m glad I did.. it had been soaking an inaccessible part of the floor for months ? years ?

it wasn’t an easy place to do the repair.. but its done  now

We took a post sunset walk down by the river… nice
teh Dame rockets are startign to bllom.. smell so great ! Ahhh home !
