This was my neighbors cat but he decided he liked my house better. My pit bull was not super exited at having to share the house but she’s getting used to him. He acts more like a dog than a cat. He follows me around the yard when I’m working outside. If only he would learn to catch moles.
I was stationed at NAS Barbers Point for 4 years. Very good duty. Great food. Hawaii eats more Spam per capita than any other state. And yes, a visit to Arizona Memorial is very humbling. I visited it several times and also rendered honors coming and going out of Pearl Harbor on ships.

Nice. It's good to have a "Zen" spot where you can chill. I like to swinging bench. I have a bench down by my creek I like to sit down there and listen to the water with a cold brew and let the stress disappear ( at least partially).
