As previously mentioned, Bagram Air Field is surrounded by land-mines. Consequently, military personnel continuously work to clear the fields. When they find a mine, they detonate it, but they warn everybody in advance. So, periodically, throughout the day, the loud speaker will announce, "Attention all personnel: The field is hot. There will be a controlled detonation in 5 minutes."
It got me thinking: Wouldn't it be helpful for relationships to have a loud speaker warning system that made cautionary announcements? "Attention husband: you have angered the wife. The field is hot. There will be a 'controlled' detonation in 4 seconds. The extent of control exercised will depend upon your proximity to the detonation. Run for your life or risk loss of limb(s). All requests for damages will be evaluated applying an "assumption of the risk" standard." (sorry guys, I'm a chic - you'll have to put your own "guy announcements" on your guy blogs)
I'm distracted, today, by wars at home so, I'll close with this: If you are at war on your home front, I wish you a "cease fire" and the associated peace that accompanies that status; if you are at peace on your home front, go get a good hug (sincerely, it's been 67 days since I last hugged anybody - go get a hug, it feels good!). Talk to you soon. See you (and maybe even hug you - if you're anywhere near St. Louis) in 99 days... but whose counting?!
