    Yesterday I was playing with my grandson. A new game that we heathens have taught him is to play shoot ’em up with our fingers. He prefers to be the shooter, he points and says “bang, bang(sounds more like ‘bane, bane’) and we grunt and fall over. He laughs and pushes on our stomach and gives us a kiss and we come back to life, which also makes him laugh. We taught him the bang, bang, he came up with his cpr on his own.
    My daughter was watching us play and she laughed and said, “it’s a good thing he’s not going to school or he’d be kicked out the first day.” That would be funny if it wasn’t true.
    When I was a kid we played cowboys and Indians at recess and no adults raised an eyebrow. Even my kids could play cowboys and Indians and cops and robbers at school without anyone freaking out. Now if a child points his finger and says, “bang, bang,” he will be kicked out of school.

    Well, my flight leaves in 3 hours.

    I got a haircut on Tuesday. My octogenarian barber, knowing I was heading South, asked me if I wanted the Isis flag shaven into the back of my head. I hope he didn’t. I don’t own a hand-mirror.

    Weather report from the north Georgia hills. Sub freezing temps last night, slowly warming today to around fifty.

    Translated into Deep South weather terms that means it was bitterly, savagely cold and we had to put on pants, socks, and real shoes this morning after pouting under the quilts. By about two we’ll be back to shirtsleeves, and in a day or two the shorts and flip flops will replace the Arctic rated ski boots. And we will feel vindicated that we wore that cherry red parka with a fur lined hood two days in a row. “Ya see there, Claude, I tole ya I needed that warm coat!” Claude, having pulled out his cleanest long johns, flannel shirt, and lined denim jacket, along with his heirloom WWII bomber hat that belonged to his grandpappy, Claude Beauregard Stonewall Lee Fitzhugh IV, will be forced to nod somberly. After all, Buffy-Louise ain’t cooked the grits yet.

    This town (Bad Axe, MI) is in the northern part of the Michigan thumb, north of where my mom grew up. It’s surrounded by very rural country.

    Federal official: Helicopters in Bad Axe were flying routine missions

    Saturday, December 19, 2015 3:14 pm | Updated: 3:26 pm, Sat Dec 19, 2015.

    By Chris Aldridge Tribune Staff Writer
    BAD AXE — The helicopters hovering over Bad Axe Friday were flying routine missions while patrolling the international border with Canada, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said in an email Saturday.

    The helicopters are assigned to the Great Lakes Air and Marine Branch Selfridge ANGB in Harrison Township, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Public Affairs Officer Kris Grogan.

    “The Great Lakes Air and Marine Branch is responsible for more than 1,000 miles of international border with Canada, which is patrolled by both aircraft and vessels,” Grogan said in the email.

    Grogan says there is no reason for concern for residents.

    “We also have not fielded any other calls from residents,” Grogan’s email states.

    However, at least one local agency did.

    “We had several inquiries about the helicopter and who it belonged to,” Huron County Sheriff Kelly J. Hanson said Friday.

    Hanson said he called the Aviation Unit in Detroit to gather more information as to why the helicopter was in the area and what its purpose was.

    “I wasn’t satisfied with their answer to say the least, but I was told (the helicopter) was taking photos,” he explained. “I made them well aware that people are concerned, especially with what’s going on in the media.”

    The sheriff said he was never made aware or given any notice the helicopter would be in the area taking photos.
    The Tribune also contacted an aide of U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, who said the office hasn’t gotten any calls from constituents regarding the flyovers, and on Friday was checking to find more information. The office had not responded to an email Saturday seeking an update.

    Congresswoman Miller is vice chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security and chairs the Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security.

    Just noticed that Sharon has a relatively new post up at her blog, Mailboxes and Old Barns. There’s a link in the blog roll (up and to the right), if you want to take a look!
