Day 121: Another Pleasant Valley Sunday…
All of you who have heard that song, raise your hand and sing with me.
Anyhoo, we start today with some sad news. Don Knotts, a comedian who is best known for playing Barney Fife in The Andy Griffith Show, has died today. I own four of his movies, and I still laugh when I watch him play Luther Heggs in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. It’s a terrible loss for the entertainment industry, because he was probably one of the cleanest funny men I know. Godspeed and see you on the other side, Don.
In other news, today is quiet because they placed a 24-hour ban on all vehicle traffic entering and exiting Baghdad. We haven’t been attacked or anything.
Hope all is quiet on the western front as well. That is to say, I hope you all are doing well out there. I’m out. God bless.

Hey man, good to hear it is all nice and peaceful for you today. I prayed for you last night, you have been on my mind lately. Keep up the good work (and stay away from doing reports on combat arms groups, please….)!

I hear ya on Don knots…maybe this war should have been moved out to sea instead of land….remember the one move where knots played part of turning into a fish, that helped the navy defeat all those subs
i hope in tribute to him they dig that movie out so i can catch it and record it, funny movie. and yes The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. was another funny movie he did. I can picture myself living in a town where only the deputy wore a gun with one bullet and crime rate was less than 1%
oh hey chris your high school made the local paper about being in bad shape building shape that is the tdn should have the story in there archive section.
stay cool and safe is our prayer for you
