The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

In Memoriam
Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the US. I
remember especially my Grandfather, Charles Albert Oxley, Gnr, Royal
Field Artillery, 1914-18, my Uncle, Roy Wisemiller, Pvt, AEF, 1917-18,
my Father, Perry Weismiller, PFC, Hq&Hq Sqd., 8th USAAF, 1941-45,
and my Uncle, Charles Sluggett, Sgt, The Canadian Scottish Regiment
(Princess Mary's), 1939-45 and Korea. They all survived, thank God, but
they're gone now. I was privileged to know them all, except for Uncle
Roy, who died a couple of years before I was born. May they, and all
departed Veterans, Rest in Peace!
V. Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine. R. Et lux perpétua lúceat eis. V. Requiéscant in pace. R. Amen.
