A good idea on paper
The U.S. government attempted to provide a service at the end of WWI that sounds like a wonderful way to thank fallen soldiers. The intent, I’m sure, was to show gratitude. But the execution of it quickly became quite grisly and I guarantee pricey. As far as I know, the service was only offered at the end of WWI and not repeated for any subsequent war. At least, not at the same level.
Let me start at the beginning though.

Break it down for me
It’s that time again. Time for me to get on my soapbox (blog) and rant (rage) about the fact we in the USA will fall back an hour. Now, I consider me a fairly reasonable person. In fact, my talent has always been to be able to quickly see another point of view. But in my fifty years of viewing, I can not figure out the why of the silly twice a year time change.

Lessons Learned
I promise, this is the last post I will mention my trip to Mongolia as the topic. It’s true, I have already discussed my flights and my itinerary, what more could possibly be mined from this trip?

I had no intention of traveling or doing any big trips this year. This was going to be a low-key year where I took care of some issues. My plan was to stay close, do little traveling, take care of some things, and, if possible, pay off my car or at least get the loan down. No, I would not be traveling outside the country. It was a good plan. But mid-August I found myself at the airport getting ready to fly halfway around the world. So much for that good plan.

Around the world in 12 days
I didn’t have any plans to travel this year. Last year I went to the UK but that trip was originally planned for 2020. Specifically the end of March 2020. As you recall, no organized trips took place outside the country at the end of March 2020. It was postponed twice and I finally was able to go on it last year. So, it was a no-brainer that I would not travel outside the US this year. But plans change and not only did I leave the country, I traveled all the way around the world without even knowing I was going to do it.
