Thanks!

The Michael Silence story about my humble little place here seems to have been picked up by the AP and some radio/tv outlets across the state. I've heard from some really nice people across the state (and nation) as well as some folks who, shall we say, do not agree with the war effort (the Comments section may not be family friendly until I get a chance to do some cleaning). However, they are in the vast left-wing minority and the exception proves the rule. I especially appreciate the prayers and wishes for a safe and happy Christmas.

I'll be back with some more thoughts on this as well as some pictures tonight (midday for those in the CST and EST). Have a great day!
