Found this while cleaning Frankies closet. Oh how I miss Army Guys !!!!


He has survived......The blanket jungle of the (top bunk).Drops from the backyard deck with only a tissue parachute to break his fall. Fire crackers on the fourth of July. Being stuck to the wall with bubble gum . Countless baths ......with ivory soap as his makeshift raft. More than one trip through the heavy duty wash cycle. The beach, the cabin, the pool and endless car trips. The car ashtray for days on end. Venetian blinds. The gasoline incident (we don't talk about that as many comrades perished that day).He holds his position and waits for the next adventure.......He will Survive

Dog Days Of Summer

Dog Days of Summer" has nothing to do with dogs
The official Dog Days of Summer are the days between July 3 and August 11.
This goes back to the time of the ancient Greeks. Sirius is known as the Dog Star because it marks the nose of the constellation Canus Major, Orion’s hunting dog.
Viewed from Earth, Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of the nighttime sky during most of the year. However, by July 3, Orion and Canus Major have moved to the daytime sky.
The great thinkers among the Greeks believed that the light and heat from Sirius, the Dog Star, combined with the sun, produced the hot days of summer. After August 11, Sirius disappears from the daytime sky and becomes the brightest star in the morning just before the sun comes up. Gradually Sirius, Canus Major, and Orion move to the nighttime sky as the summer passes into fall.
