Memo to all you pusillanimous liberals: We’re calling it the Global War on Terror, kthx

Tomorrow a new memorial will be dedicated at the entrance to Fraine Barracks, near River Road. It’s a memorial whose progress I’ve watched eagerly since its announcement, and now it’s finished. It’s a memorial to North Dakota military personnel who perished during the Global War on Terrorism.

I was especially pleased to see the term “GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM” on this monument, because the pantywaist liberal multi-culturalist apologists, in their suicidal quest to love our enemies and hate our nation, have abhorred this term since its inception. Our current President, for example, has ordered that the term not be used in the federal government. North Dakotans, however, see it for what it is.


All gave some. Some gave all.
 

This monument will be officially dedicated on September 11th. Sadly, I have something else going on and can’t attend. I stopped by this weekend to read the names and ponder the sacrifice of those who died fighting on our behalf, and I’m sure I’ll be back again. As the monument declares, We Will Never Forget.

Tall sunset

The sunsets of this weekend provided quite a variety of color, but the key is being there at just the right instant! The sun sets quickly once it nears the horizon, and an ambitious photographer needs to be in position for that fleeting moment. I wasn’t the only one staked out on the hill overlooking the now-closed Meriwether’s on this particular evening.

Doesn’t it seem like it gets dark early now, and didn’t that sneak up on us suddenly? Wow!

What to do with all those dam cars

I have actually seen a couple of these lately. This one caught my eye early one morning, and I stopped for a little bit to catch some of that golden sunrise light illuminating the row of cars.

I’ve never thought I’d run out of unique and interesting features of the prairie culture, and it’s with good reason. Things like this catch my eye from time to time, and occasionally I’m surprised with something new and creative, like decorating a dam with something eye-catching!
