thanksgiving … for lots of reasons

Not much to say at the moment ... except to wish BMEWS readers a most satisfying day wherever you are.
Might be light on posts today depending on how soon we get back.

Seems like bad news and bad happenings every day. You might not always think there are things to be thankful for. But there really are. And you don’t have to go too far back in history to catch examples of our good fortune. Not being Pollyanna on the subject, it’s just that as awful as I sometimes think things are, I see evidence of my own good luck. We live in an old house that is below modern standards but ... the roof keeps the rain out and there isn’t any mortgage.  Some folks this Thanksgiving day have no home at all.  Some are hungry while many of us don’t worry about the next meal cos it’s always there.
Many are just plain lucky to have been born in the West, and have yet to appreciate their good luck . Most of all on this day, I’m thankful for the many troops of whatever nation and especially my people and the folks I call Battling Brits, who aren’t so lucky in their present situation but who are keeping as best they can, a West free of islamic domination.  For now at least. 

So ,,, Cheers all.
Later

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
