    Re: Veterans Day

    I celebrated by having the school day off, which was nice. Otherwise, nothing out of the ordinary happened up here. It got really cold though <_>

    Loaf: Meier is the best.

    Meier: Hey Pete, I said I started to, it just didn't end the with the same number of women. Then again this one is kind of on the outs with me if she doesn't straighten up and fly right so that means I will be back in it for the thrill of the kill. Got some in the reserves. Even got a rePETEr (<---- like that ay? AYYYYY?) on the back burner.

    Block: I do like the rePETEr except it kinda makes it sound like you're going to pork Pete. No homo.

    Ceremony at school followed by the usually minute of silence at 11:00 where some people were rude enough to talk and laugh while the trumpet played and supporting the Legion by entering an art contest and buying a poppy. All which is really quite ordinary.

    Re: Veterans Day

    It's known as Rememberance Day or Armistice Day in Europe, and is also marked on the Sunday after the 11th.

    There was a mini-service at St Benedict's church war memorial in the high street; pretty much everyone about at the time stopped there to pay their respects. I was passing through on the way back from the council office, so stopped for a while. There was a veteran from every section of the British Armed Forces raising a standard to the Last Post.

    It was all very emotional. It always brings a lump to my throat.
