Bring them home.

Afghanistan used to be a rugged country "somewhere up there" on the map and that it was vulnerable to Russia's invasions. National Geographic was active in documenting its history, people, and landforms.

Then 9/11 happened, and American troops went to this country, staying there since 2001. Our President has set September 11, 2021, as the date to start the process of demobilizing. 

How to come home?  Coming home from a 2 week vacation is hard enough, but coming home after being there?  From the longest war seen in the modern era?

Bring them home.  Bring our soldiers home. Bring them joy, bring them peace. Bring them home.

Les Miserable, four Jean Val Jean performers.

17 Jean Valjeans from around the world

The YouTubes are from "Les Miserables", a musical about the French revolution. Each is about 3 minutes or so.

The Eagle in the Sky

 

YouTube, about 3 min. long from"1776" movie, which is

excellent. 

Viewing bald eagles from ground level, we can see how impressive they are from that perspective.  But, to see more and closer?  

4 to 10 feet diameter, 2 to 9 feet deep

Mississippi River

During bitter winters, eagles migrate down to a stretch of river from Iowa down to Alton, Illinois. We could watch hundreds of eagles on the ice and trees from our Illinois side of the river. It is impressive.

on the Mississippi River

One November, we watched these magnificent creatures soar over the River while we followed their flight from inside a restaurant. The temperature outside had been about 30 degrees when we went inside; it was 10 deg. when we left an hour or two later.

Birds are fascinating creatures.  One cannot see and watch a bird fly without realizing how amazing they are. One blogger who writes about this is David Gascoigne, and his photos are exquisite. He has an eye for somehow capturing their beauty.

Look up to the sky! Focus on the stars, clouds, and birds. You might see an eagle sometime.

Female eagles are larger than the male. Females measure 3 feet from tip to tail; wingspan is around 7 feet (90 in.); and, weight is 10 to 14 pounds. 

I have one job to do.

                                   

YouTube Galaxy Quest "I have one job..."

In this show, Sigourney Weaver is the blond sex interest in Galaxy Quest, 1999, with Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, and other name actors. The show is too interesting and funny to relay here.  But in this movie, Weaver has to tolerate her boobs and this inane job.

I HAVE ONE JOB TO DO is something that resounds through her role, and, it turns out that many throughout time have dealt with this claim.

Too many grammar and spelling errors exist in every media.  The teacher in me shakes a fist at them all. Who pays these people?? Doesn't anyone higher up edit or proofread what will be published?
