I'm quite annoyed that I have to come in to work today.

This stupid country can't take one day off to honor it's veterans.
(I know, banks, gov. closed, but still).

No rest for the megamachine. The gears must keep grinding on, extracting, consuming and destroying.

I have respect for our veterans, but I am sad for them too. For in the logic of the machine, they are just "resources" to be extracted and spent, like a strip mine or clear cut.

God bless them, every one.

I've honored in an official role the men that fell at the battle of Arnhem at the 50th anniversary of operation "market garden" also known as "a bridge too far".

God bless the master of the house, and the mistress also.
And all the little children that round the table grow.
The cattle in the stable and the dog by the front door.
And all that dwell within the gates
God bless them ten times more.

God bless all our vets.
