Into the West

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Into the West

Greyhawk

And here we are, somewhere west of sunset, enjoying the hospitality of Some Soldier's Mom somewhere in McCain (or is it Goldwater? Or God's...) country.

Forgive the dearth of posting. But we are out seeing the world, a few selected views of which are below in hopes that we gain your sympathy and understanding...

For those of you bound for the milblogs conference this weekend, we look forward to seeing you there. For those who can't make it, we look forward to bringing it to you via this humble portal. One way or another, I hope you can join us.

I won't be able to make it this year, so I'm looking forward to your reports! Thanks for sharing the photos - wish I had time for another cross-country road trip. America's a site to see.

Safe travels!

GreyHawk, make sure you bring back pictures. All me other shipmates from B5 are going, but I can't. So please bring back photographic evidence of the trip, including B5s party. I'd appreciate it.

Dangit Subsunk, I was truly looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully some time soon.

Meantime, I'll get pictures.

And you too, Lisa - sorry, don't know why your comment was held up. Wish you could be here.

America is a sight to see. We drove up/over from Arizona - saw a big hole in the ground on the way here. Will post pictures of that soon.

I'd like to meet you someday too. Right now, personal affairs keep me in Houston, and my neighbors need my generator. Son needs preps for moving from college in Galveston to College Station. And I need some sleep.

One day, I promise to make the trip. Once I'm back on me feet, sir. You ladies and gents have a grand old time in Sin City now. Ya'll hear?

Subsunk, Take care! My parents are up north in the Woodlands and dodged the falling trees and now have power. Friends in Clear Lake were equally blessed, but they were part of the mandatory evac. Pictures coming out of Galveston are heartbreaking.

Subsunnk ... glad to hear you're hanging in there, Bash Brother.

And like you, I wish I could be in Vegas to see y'all face to face. (Problem is, as an ambassador of Southern culture to Long Island, I have to spend my travel budget on trips back home to see the grandkids ...)

Since there will be pictures ... I guess that, when it comes to milbloggers, what happens in Vegas DOESN'T stay in Vegas?

Let us hope so ...
