Been watching the Tom Hanks WW2 doc and saw Admiral Canaris's hat. I'd never seen this device and I'm wondering if it was Abwehr specific or just something special for an admiral. I don't recall seeing Dönitz wearing anything similar.

Been watching the Tom Hanks WW2 doc and noticed this on Heydrich's uniform. It reminds me of the Wehrmacht Gefreiter V, but on the wrong sleeve. Any ideas?

I'm watching the doc series of Tom Hanks about WW2 (Великая Отечественная война) and this language has me puzzled.

I usually grocery shop Sunday morning, after 3 days of 12-hour night shifts. I'm on autopilot cruising through the store, eyes on my list, humming a tune I thought was in my head. Then I hear, "Andy, are you goofin' on Elvis?", and realize it was the store Muzak. Fuck, I'm old.

Boaters partying on the docks and the turtles know it.

Left the office at 4am and they swarmed me. Day people feeding them too much. Used to be that only a couple were this bold.

Over at a friend's last night and he had questions about his father's uniform. He mentioned two As on his shoulder, so I figured 82nd Airborne Division. I told him about the infantry cord and discs, but I'm clueless about the DUI and the oval under his Parachutist badge. Friend also mentioned Rangers and Korean War.

Was looking for something in storage and found this old Johnson Smith catalog. Wanted so much of the crap in this book. Always getting these for free.

They've learned to hunt under the lights of the pedestals.

That time of year again. The mulberries are ripe and the Canada geese are leaving purple poo all over the place. They are usually spread out around the marina, but crowd around the trees and argue at times.

Had a great time with a bunch of friends Wednesday at Busch Stadium in St Louis. Great hot dog, crap game. Cardinals lost.

Alton Marina in pool 26 of the upper Mississippi River. We're sitting on the bottom after losing 7ft since last week's rains. Crops are looking nice, though.
