"Cool" picture, Casey. A fire theme today? My son on the fireline in New Mexico last Summer. (Not taken by me.) And another. Ron

My granddog, Bo. Bo is no longer living with my son and his family....he didn't do well after being in quarantine for 6 months when they moved to Tokyo....he was biting everyone and after he bit my grandson, my son and his wife and son flew Bo to California (from Japan) and took him to a MinPin rescue home near Yosemite. Happily, Bo was adopted by a man and is living in his forever home. We all miss him.

My dad and his wife, Norma. Norma is originally from Italy and was a wac in the Army, stationed over in Japan. She has told me that she met General Patton.

Karen, I copied this, because I wasn't exactly sure what the Marshals do either! U.S. marshals and deputy marshals provide the Federal courts with protection while making sure the judicial system operates correctly. Their job description includes shielding Federal witnesses, transferring Federal prisoners, providing security for Federal judiciary, and supervising criminal enterprise assets in custody. They have the broadest range of authority of all Federal law enforcement agencies and work in virtually every Federal law enforcement endeavor. U.S. marshals also track and apprehend Federal fugitives. Our son has gone as far as Bangkok to bring back a prisoner, he used to travel a lot more than he does now. It is a political appointment.
