Recently, I wrote about the WWII  Diary kept by Shouppe Howell, who participated in bombing missions over Germany and nearby countries during WWII as a tail gunner on a plane. Here are more entries.       Hamm “This is Number 11 and we are on our way to home or heaven.” Nov. 21 1944   “Today’s railroad schedules were really ruined at Hamm when we hollered “Bombs Away.” Today we headed for the railroad yards at Hamm and I’ll bet quite a few trains were late that day.

The world is nothing but murders, massacres, and the threat of war. It’s gotten so bad, you wake up and ask, “Who died overnight?” Or “Whose rockets and bombs hit who this time?”I’ll go out on a limb here and blame most of the world’s turmoil and tragedy on President Biden and his handlers.

Jase GravesAccording to my extensive research (approximately five minutes on Google when I should have been folding underwear), the Chinese zodiac system assigns an animal symbol to each year. It is believed that people born in a given year have the personality of that year’s animal. For example, based on the placemats at my favorite Chinese buffet, I was born in the Year of the Dog, which means I am loyal, honest and difficult to housebreak.
