   The key point left out of the strip is not only crawling through dry grass looking for pecans but having to both hunt for them in the leaves, and tossing out the ones either the birds or the squirrels had already “tasted”. My grandmother had 5 big, old pecan trees, so my brother and eye spent many after-school days in the fall “huntin’ for pecans.” On Saturdays, she’d put her radio in the kitchen window so we could hear the Auburn Football radio broadcast while picking up pecans. This supplemented our summer grass cutting money.

   “Don’t hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning. Think the bridge will be there and it will be there. It’s a mother, beautiful bridge, and it’s gonna be there.”

   It’s FL, so it’s more likely gators.

   If we stopped “making new ones” (Veterans), that would mean we wouldn’t have a military to “support and defend the Constitution, against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. Veterans (both currently in uniform and former service members) are those who, since 1973 when the draft ended, volunteered to serve in the U.S. military. We all understood what we volunteered for when we raised our right hand to take the full Oath (of enlistment or commissioning). We trained to execute the missions we might be called to perform, in the hopes that such training might serve as a deterrent to those (both nation states and non-state actors). If such deterrence fails, then the training of these volunteer service members makes us ready to execute missions directed by a civilian chain of command (President, SECDEF, Service Secretaries).

   It is humorous (though not side splitting), precisely because it’s an entirely plausible story. Have a safe and enjoyable Veterans Day. Hooah!

   I always thought that quote was from Lincoln, but the first printed instance didn’t occur until 41 years after Lincoln died. As for Twain, the Brainy Quotes website doesn’t attribute this quote to him before he died in 1910. The first written version is found in a book published in 1907 (copyrighted in 1906). Here’s what the Quote Investigator site says: “The earliest known appearance of the adage discovered by QI occurred in a book titled “Mrs. Goose, Her Book” by Maurice Switzer. The publication date was 1907 and the copyright notice was 1906.” Sources: >

    I appreciate his appropriate color choices for their respective shirts: Navy Blue and Orange.
