| #48 Fred, reading in the comments, your acknowledgment of also Dvorak's birthday, a youtube search offered this: Dvorak's Symphony No.9 in E This is a film I made in 2006 when we where on our holidays in Normandy (France). We visited a lot of things that are connected to the second worldwar. D-day (6th june 1944) is a very important day for the whole population of Europe during those days and still now. We mst be thankfull for the help our forefathers had in those days from the allied forces. The music you here in this film is Ffrom Antonin Dvorak titled "Symphony No.9 in E" |

| #46 It's also Dvorak's birthday, so be sure to listen to at least one of his symphonies. I prefer his 6th and his 8th to his overplayed 9th. |

| #45 TW -- somewhere in this mix of the last two days, I was most unobservant of your birthday! Guessing this is then, a belated Happy Birthday to you! I do have to agree, September brings some good birthdays, including the day yesterday, when I tipped the glass to a certain Marine, doing what Marines do, forever guarding the street corner that is closest to wherever the best steaks and bourbon are located! A good day to 'ya.... |

| #44 You all are darlings, every single one. September is a good month for birthdays, along with the other eleven. If I recall correctly, March-April and September are the twin peaks of baby births, although oddly enough scattered across the years, the reasons for which I leave as an exercise to the student. ;-) I feel lucky to share the same day and month and years with you all, for whom I have so much respect. At Passover the Jews toast, "Next year in Jerusalem." May I suggest Next year the many-headed Beast destroyed! |

| #43 Crud! "Ebback Speaking" was me speaking. So, Barbara, we're not allowed to believe that—Whomock the Full Bosomed—was youself? Another illusion dies a sad and untimely death. |

| #41 Jeeez Barb, had me scared for a second. Wasn't Boskone the troll that used to hang with Gentile? Or was that Muras? I can never remember. |

| #39 Crud! "Ebback Speaking" was me speaking. Just got my new computer installed (old one fried in a big storm several weeks back) and forgot to reactivate my cookie. :-( |

| #36 Happy Birthday to you both Fred and TW! I too feel that sense of pride to be an American with this lady. We're soon expecting lots of births around the Denver area. Remember about 9 months ago was our big blizzard, heh. "Lotta December bonking going on..." ;) |

| #35 Fred (and TW too!), many, many happy returns. There's a saying that goes "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country". You, sir, are truly an aid to your country and your countrymen. There's also one that goes "Evil prospers only when good men fail to act" Again, this fits as you are acting and doing something about the evil abroad in the world today. I'll stand post on the wall with you anytime, anywhere. |

| #31 Happy Birthday, Fred. Mine was last Saturday. May the day bring you joy and happiness, and may all your friends share its blessings. September is "birthday month" for our family. We have birthdays on the 1st, 10th, 13th, and 25th. It's a blessing I can't eat sweets, or I'd gain 40 pounds! |

| #30 Happy Birthday Fred, I prefer the words of Patton myself. "I don't want you to die for your country, I want you to make the other poor bastard die for HIS country." Hear, Hear. |

Cock your head to the right a little, leaning your head down, in a way of trying to hear better. Hear us? Keep listening..... that roar you are beginning to hear? Well, it's all of us here at Rantburg U, jumping up and down, clapping our hands, and yelling as loud as we can, "Happy birthday, Fred." The crowd repeats the words, over and over. And oh yea, the BEST Rantburg Defnder-Scimitar ever. |
