Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Another walk today, a bit warmer and faint sun.  The WW One memorial has 19 names on it, four sets with the same surname.  It is hard to imagine there were 19 men of military age living here in 1914.  The injured are not listed.  One American flyer has his own plaque.

This is why the Maginot Line was built.

Nineteen men, from a tiny village.  Many may have died of disease, or the Spanish flu.

Hard to imagine.

Mrs. 847 wants to get a dog when she retires, which is very soon. Aside from the painfully obvious problems presented by our travel habits, there is another major issue for me, which I've stated here on occasion.

My wife and I have a pet ban in our marriage.  I'm badly allergic to cats and some dogs and would be a bad pet owner.  Add in the travel and irregular departures, it wouldn't work.  
I like other people's dogs.  Vicarious experience.

I would love to have dogs, but basically cannot except perhaps some quasi yapped dog which I would not want.

Jake is my kind of dog.

I love dogs, but haven't owned one in over a decade. My life is too involved to give a dog the proper attention.

I inherited a cat when I married my wife. Freddy might as well be a dog with the way he acts, but at least he can fend for himself on a long weekend.

Freddy is 15 years old and I know I will not want another cat when he dies (Vet says he has quite a number of years left in him). I am not sure where the wife falls into the discussion at the moment.

A dog could fend for himself,he could eat the cat or anyone crawling thru a window.Can't help you with the piles though.Wanted to get a dog but the Mrs. got the parrots and are already family and they'd freak

They've been slamming Hamm's up there for quite some time

The first beer commercial I ever saw was one for Hamm's.
"From the land of sky-blue wa-aters,
Comes the water best for brewing . . ."
I think we were living in Clovis, NM, and I was 6 or 7.
