Musings

  • Phrases heard Saturday night while assisting with training at Fort Knox:
    • “Big badaboom?”
    • “Kaboom?  Yes, Rico, kaboom.”
    • “Where’s the kaboom?  There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!”
    • “Someone should be making a decision right about now!”
  • Girlie Bear had her debut as a role player at Fort Knox this weekend.  She was a little intimidated at first, but was enjoying herself by the end of the night.
  • She especially enjoyed when she was picked as a high value target to be snatched up and hauled away.
    • Luckily for me, the cadre running the training decided that it would be best if I was given a role that allowed me to go along with her.  She didn’t need me, but seeing as how part of her role is to scream at the top of her lungs “Daddy!  Daddy help me!” the entire time she’s being dragged away, I just needed to be close, that’s all.
  • Give a small group of soldiers access to trip wires and booby traps and tell them to make life hard for their fellow soldiers, and they will start giggling like kids at Christmas.
  • Note to self – stop telling Irish Woman the posted time for training to be over when going to Fort Knox.
    • I told her we were supposed to be done sometime between midnight and one.  We didn’t get back to the truck until after 3:30.
  • Moonshine put himself into a world of hurt today by eating half the pan of rice krispie treats that Irish Woman and Boo made on Saturday night.
    • It was the first time Irish Woman had made them with Boo, ever.
    • The other half got thrown out.
    • He’s still alive, but that’s probably only because she remembers how cute he was as a puppy.
  • Crash has decided that if he is told “no” when he is trying to filch food, then it is adequate to sink low to the table and stay still for a few moments before trying again.  I’m going to have to correct that.

      He’s the most aggressively feline of the bunch. He needs to learn that food that is still on my plate is off limits, as well as any food left on the counter or the dining room table.
