At age 71, I sold my house on the western slope of Colorado to travel the southwestern states in my RV. This is my escape pod, a 33’ 2017 class A motorhome.
I gave away anything I no longer needed, and everything I owned was in my RV. Sometimes less is more.

I didn’t write this and don’t remember where I downloaded it from, but there is a lot of truth in the statements.
We Are Veterans.
We left home as teenagers, or young men and women, for an unknown adventure.
We loved our country enough to defend it and protect it with our own lives.
We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew.
We learned the basics, and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth.
We found new friends and new family.
We became brothers and sisters regardless of color, race, or creed.
We had plenty of good times and plenty of bad times.
We didn’t get enough sleep.
We drank too much.
We picked up both good and bad habits.
We worked hard and played harder.
We didn’t earn a great wage.
We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing important events.
We didn’t know when, or even if, we would ever see home again.
We grew up fast, and yet somehow, we never grew up at all.
We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others.
Some of us saw actual combat, and some of us didn’t.
Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t.
Some of us dealt with physical warfare; most of us dealt with psychological warfare.
We have seen, experienced, and dealt with things that we can’t fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical.
We participated in time-honored ceremonies and rituals with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie.
We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to survive it at all.
We have dealt with victory and tragedy.
We have celebrated and mourned.
We lost a few along the way.
When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new, and some of us never came home at all.
We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures.
We speak highly of our own branch of service and poke fun at the other branches.
We know, however, that if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and stand together as one, in a heartbeat.
Being a veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away.
It has no monetary value, but at the same time, it is a priceless gift.
People see a veteran and they thank them for their service.
When we see each other, we give that little upwards head nod, or a slight smile, knowing that we have shared and experienced things that most people have not.
To all the veterans out there, I commend and thank you for all that you have done and sacrificed for your country.
We share an unspoken bond with each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand.
Try to remember the good times and forget the bad times.
Share your stories.
But most importantly, stand tall and proud, for you have earned the right to be called a Veteran. #Veterans #Patriots #MAGA
I bet you don't see this on CNN as it disproves their narrative the Sec. Hegseth hates women in the military.
🚨 JUST IN: SecWar Pete Hegseth has hereby REINSTATED Brigadier General Melissa Cunningham, who was forced OUT of the military for refusing the COVID shot under Biden
GREAT NEWS and well-deserved! 🙏🏻
She gave her career to this country, and the Biden administration showed her the door over a vaccine mandate over faulty info!
Thousands of service members were kicked out the same way, and the mandate was rescinded in 2023 anyway
Now the wrongs are finally being made right.
Bring them ALL back!
This comes after Hegseth established a Pentagon task force to give PAY and BENEFITS to unvaccinated service members removed under Biden

In my day we called climate change the four seasons. Hot in summer, cold in winter, and nice in spring and fall.

Many people have been talking about the military's decision to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan. Some people see it as an unacceptable spectacle, and some see it as justice.
“Does anyone else see the double standard? I find it interesting that footage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination was widely live-streamed and shared, with many people watching it repeatedly and some openly saying he deserved it. Now that the military plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan—who killed 12 soldiers and one civilian at Fort Hood—a lot of the same voices are calling that unacceptable. I haven’t decided whether I’ll watch, but many veterans and active-duty service members see it as accountability rather than spectacle.”

One of the things I enjoy about the Texas Gulf Coast is snapping pictures at marinas. The ones below are from Fulton Harbor.

I guess the demoncraps are getting desperate for endorsements.
It is not a good sign when the IRGC shifts from "Death to America" to "Vote Democratic." The IRGC is reportedly encouraging Americans to vote against the GOP in the midterms. nypost.com/2026/09/29/world-… ...
