Friday

The 45-yera old tech showed up wearing a big US Marines sweatshirt and I was wearing a cap clearly opposed to the invasion.

Anyway, when I saw his Marine shirt I said, oh hell I'm gonna get in a fight on my day off.

First thing the guy said, when he saw my hat was, "I'm walking to the WH with my shotgun if that bastard bush tries to draft my son." We hit it off well after that.
