Veterans Day/Remembrance Day
If you live in a country where you are free to speak your mind, remember to thank a Veteran today because somewhere, sometime, a soldier fought and died to give you that right.

I'm playing catch up today on three weeks worth of backlogged CSA posts. It's not terribly interesting so saving them up seemed best. Mostly at this point I think I'm cataloging the frustration for myself so that I make a better choice this winter.
