The Rolling Thunder motorcycle ride was today.
Somewhat in honor of that, Joan re-visits a childhood of bikinis and bikers. Hey, I saw that movie!
Every summer a group of bikers would descend upon the park for a weekend. My little Catholic girl/river-rat self regarded them with equal parts pious umbrage and redneck curiosity. My older sister and her friends were quite intrigued by the spectacle and would hike down to the park and laugh at all the mysterious "old guys" and their wrinkly girlfriends. My dad assured us all that most of them were businessmen and lawyers and thus upstanding citizens (my dad was full of mixed messages), but in my imagination they were Hell's Angels and one stop away from breaking bad on some unsuspecting citizenry that looked at them sideways. Bad people for sure.
Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin offers a tribute to Arlington and a more traditional Memorial Day weekend post.
God bless America and the wonderful men and women who sacrificed and continue to in the cause of keeping her safe and free. Let's not squander it at the ballot box come Novermber.
Heh. It probably was a Memorial Day weekend at that! I'm saving my Memorial Day post for tomorrow. Heck, I might as well just link the Nuge and Sippican Cottage and Mudville Gazette for all my efforts. But thank you so much for the linky luv!
May we all remember the cost of the glorious fun and freedom we still enjoy in spite of our Congressional miscreants, activist judges, and disengaged President. Our fallen deserve better from us. I pray that we may be worthy of their sacrifice.

I see the United States Military has a 79% approval rating which tells me that 21% is the correct number of Liberals in this Country which means some group of idiots is SCREWING UP at the ballot box :) God Bless the men and women who allow me to sit here and comment on this blog, they are best of America!
