Thank You VetsThank you to all who have answered the call of duty and served, or continue to serve, in the military. Regardless of political agenda, you deserve this honor for doing that which is largely unthinkable to the rest of us, so that we can continue to live our lives as we do. Whether you served on the front lines or in some back office, whether you nursed someone back to health or killed someone on the battlefield, you have offered your life for your country and your fellow countrymen (and women), and you are worthy of our profound thanks. Today we honor you and take this moment to thank you, because there is little else we can do to repay the debt we owe to all those who serve. — Willscrlt, 11 Nov. 2014
Eagle with Flags
Celebrate the New Year (2008-12-31 DSC00880)Celebrate the New Year, but please celebrate responsibly! Pick a designated driver or take a taxi. Don't drink and drive.
I stopped by Costco this morning to pick up a pumpkin pie for tonight's dinner (probably the last one for the season *cry*). I thought that these wine bottles might make a nice photo. Ironically, I didn't buy any alcohol. We will be celebrating the new year with sparkling peach juice. Yummy!
The warehouse lights are not the best lighting, so I touched up the color a bit in Photoshop on my laptop--the first time I've used my laptop for color tweaking, so hopefully its calibration is pretty close to right. I also blanked out the prices and item numbers on this low-res image to make it a bit more reusable.
