Yes...turnpike west to Streetsboro...40 miles or so.Only about 6 miles from there on Rt. 43 North...about 3-4 miles south of Solon right on 43,which is N.Aur.Rd.


You from there?

an email went out to thank the veterans in my office this morning. 74 people employed here and 2 veterans.

as a society we like the idea of service. other peoples service. it's why we find it so easy to commit to wars of choice lately. it doesn't actually cost us anything directly. outside of whatever the stupid "support our troops" ribbon on the back of the car cost.

we've turned into a society that employs a small warrior class to fight for us. i don't agree with coach often but i do think the lack of any real committment by significant portions of this country to the idea of service will bite us in the long run.

no one had to fight who didn't want to. and if anyone tried to raise taxes to cover the cost of two wars, they'd be voted out. that's america.

No, 20 miles east in Western PA....Usta spend lot's of time in Y-town back in the day when they served 18 yo's...and our tracks of choice were Wat (Mnr) and Cleve tracks, Thistle, Randall, Ascot and Nthfld....no simulcasting in those days....

Great post,Hi.




Thank you for your brain give away donation.

I guess the malcontents will Occupy Anything.


But it is a free country.

Just too bad the soldiers from all wars can't have a clean thank you thread.

The truth is they probably would yell at me and tell me..."that's what we fought for---freedom."



Let's just not try to separate the past fighters from the present...just not right.

Btw, here's a list of freebies for vets..

Applebees: free food from limited menu
Chili's: free food from 6 item menu
hooters: free food from vet days menu..
Krispy Kreme: 1 free donut
Outback:1 free blooming onion and non-alcoholic drink
Texas roadhouse: free meal from opening till 4 pm
dollar general, home depot, lowes...10% off
Amazon:free mp3 download of military bands
Sports clips haircuts: free haircut

Got my 10% at Dollar General and Food Lion today and dinner at Applebees later..

BigRun...well there I go again.

Vet's
 

Not a veteran but want to thank everyone that is..... I would like to volunteer some time doing something this is Veteran related. Anyone have any suggestions?
We live in a country where we have Veterans living on the streets while we have scumbags that have never worked an honest day in their lives sucking evey dime out of us hard workers that they posibly can. Anyone see anything wrong with that?

I take back what I said,of course.

Soldiers who fought in wars are swine.

Happy now are ya, Danny?

Thought for today..
