I miss the olden days when the Wallet family, and nearly every other comic on the comics page, remembered to celebrate Veterans Day – which began as Armistice Day in 1919. In our county restaurants open up with free dinners for all veterns. So, since most will be forgotten on the comic pages this year – my hat is off to my uncle Gabe, pictured here with us in 1943, who joined up before the war broke out and was one of the first Americans to be trained in the new secret weapon – RADAR. Uncle Ernie, who was in Europe and was there to help liberate the concentration camps. Uncle Loren, who was on his way to Pearl Harbor in a transport ship when news about the attack on Pearl Harbor was announced. Coisom Royce and the Albin cousins, who were at Iwo Jima. Our neighbor Wayne, who spent the war in a POW camp. Uncle Harley, who served in Korea and cousin Loren, who helped mop up Tokyo. To many greats grandfather Martinus, who crossed the Delaware with General Washington, and spent the winter at Valley Forge. To great-grandfathers James and Charles, who were wounded at the Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia. To our neighbor James, who spent time in Viet Nam. Thanks to all veterans for your service.

A nice walk spoiled by some belligerent banter.

Looks like the dumb rubes have taken the place of Walt and Skeezix on those annual autumn strolls.

Ammons and Costco? They aren’t talking about the “Who’s on First?” comedy duo or even the membership club store.

I figure that Rufus’ mother didn’t stop drinking when she knew she was pregnant
