I love dogs, USN aviation, culinary adventures, and outdoor shenanigans. 😎 I am apolitical but will still hear everyone out. Sabo poquito Español

I think that I know of a few who’d do this 🫢🤣🤣 #hotdogs #casinoshenanigans
Settling down after a long workday doesn’t have to be strenuous! One can be reincarnated as an American Staffordshire Terrier and live la dolce vida 👌🏼. Now that she’s settled in, she sends the whole lot of you her regards ☺️ #puppies #dogsoftwitter #workdayblues #itsadogslife
Her Majesty, 🐺👑🏰 Queen Zara isn’t the most patient of beings but then again, who can blame her? She has places to be! 😅 #dogs #staffylife #americanstaffordshireterrier #snugglebug #patience
During an unusually high operational tempo at work yesterday afternoon and evening, I found an incredibly funny account which made the day so much better. She’s absolutely hilarious 😂🤣☝🏼🏆 and we can only hope for more amateur comedians to take the stage, so to speak, on here!
Just another long workday for Her Majesty, 🐺👑🏰 Queen Zara, even with her pink Emotional Support Blanket in tow! ❤️🐺😅 #dogs #queenzara #workday #guardingfurniture

Marco Rubio: Iran is run by "religious fanatic lunatics" who "make policy decisions on the basis of pure theology"
Meanwhile:
Is it normal/or healthy to feel exhausted from your job, even after getting a true two day weekend? I cannot seem to think about much else nor enjoy much of anything
This is despite exerting effort via physical exercise, reading, and exploring the outside world. What am I missing here? I’m not competing for ‘who works the most or hardest?’ I’m averaging fifty five+ hours weekly and seem to be assigned more daily tasks regardless of anything
Wow, I don’t believe that I’ve ever heard of anyone serving in both of those conflicts although I could be wrong
🇺🇸 Peter Conover Hains is the only U.S. soldier known to have served on active duty in both the Civil War and World War I.
He graduated West Point in June 1861. His classmates included George Custer and Alonzo Cushing.
As a 21-year-old first lieutenant he commanded a detached 30-pounder Parrott at First Bull Run. The gun, listed with Battery G, 1st U.S. Artillery for the battle, weighed about 6,000 pounds and needed a ten-horse team. Around 6 a.m. he ordered the first Union land artillery shot of the fight.
He transferred to the engineers and became chief engineer of the XIII Corps during the Vicksburg Campaign. His earthworks and approaches helped Grant close the ring around the city. He was brevetted three times.
Hains stayed in the Regular Army after the war. For the next forty years he built lighthouses, helped select the Panama Canal route, and designed the Tidal Basin in Washington so the Potomac would stop flooding the capital.
He retired as a brigadier general in 1904. Congress made him a major general on the retired list in 1916.
When America entered the war he volunteered again. In September 1917, at age 77, the Army recalled him as chief engineer of the Norfolk Harbor and River District.
He was the oldest officer on active duty in the U.S. Army during World War I.
A younger man got to go to France because the old engineer took the stateside job.
Hains retired a second time in 1918 and died at Walter Reed in 1921.
56 years between the first gun at Bull Run and a World War I uniform.
It’s surreal to think about although perhaps my perspective is warped given the constant news cycle of the internet age 🤷🏼♂️ either way, it is true that we’ve lost far too many this year
