So...I wasn't really going anywhere with that, just thought I would mention it.....
Looks like the days of fast food and treats are numbered in Afghanistan as the U.S. military is ordering some of the restaurants and related places shut down, one official, Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Hall said, "This is a war zone -- not an amusement park," I think he has a point there, it isn't an amusement park, but by God, if some of those things make it more comfortable for the soldiers and military folks over there fighting, why the hell would they pull the plug. The Sgt Maj said, "Supplying nonessential luxuries to big bases like Bagram and Kandahar makes it harder to get essential items to combat outposts and forward operating bases, where troops who are in the fight each day need resupply with ammunition, food and water."So it's good by to the major franchise operations like Burger King and Pizza Hut, if you are scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan in the near future, might want to take a few burgers with ya in your kitbag. Canadian soldiers need not worry, apparently Tim Hortons is staying, that is the beauty of Tim Hortons, they have staying power. You can read the whole story, Here
There has been a lot going on these days, and I have been remiss in reporting it, sorry about that, I almost missed the report that a couple of women were arrested for trying to smuggle a corpse on a plane Yup, the women were trying to get a 90 something year old dead relative on a plane from London to Germany. They put sunglasses on him, propped him up in a wheelchair and headed for the gate...someone got suspicious and the jigg was up...apparently snakes can get on a plane, but not dead guys in sunglasses......
By the way, the UFO picture above......? You figure it out.......
