FTA

(For those unfamiliar with Army acronyms, that's "Fuck The Army" . . .)

Good to see that the intervening years and going All Volunteer haven't changed the Army brass attitudes toward enlisted ranks.

Snow relocated

For only containing 28 days, February sure can seem like it lasts forever.

We seem to have received 12" - 14" of snow, some of it rather dense.  The New! Improved! Super-Snowblower! has chewed its way through the snowplow berm without hesitation, proving that I didn't invest in overkill by going to the 8HP model.

But I can hear the snowplow driver out there, muttering in an Austrian accent, "I'll be Bach!"
