1 Saw a fellow driving around KC w a MH-6 personalized Veteran plate the other day, so I took a pic to remind myself to look it up when not driving.

Later, from the safety of the bat cave, down the rabbit hole I went.

God Bless these folks, their mission, and safety.

Meanwhile, Putin just tosses more bodies into the grinder in the Ukraine as they are just numbers on a spreadsheet. It's a whole different culture.

5 The regime would have had a clearer road without the bounty. Gave everyone an excuse to be on the road and have mechanical issues.
