Ramblin' Ed lives in Florida after returning from 11 years in Yokosuka, Japan where he wrapped up a 26 year navy career. With ties to Japan, Thailand and America's deep south he travels around musing. Musing, muttering... really, what's the difference? Add, delete or deface this site as you see fit. Deep down I know you care. PS: I will also tender sage advice upon request. Keep your life in order. I can help. PPS: Click on a picture because most are them "git bigger" pictures.
This is a link to a story in today's St Petersburg Times. I know there are some of you out there who would find it uplifting. A Congressman's wife with an independent streak, a soft spot for marines, and the salty vocabulary of a drill seargant. I hope you are as warmed by it as I was. I don't know how long one of these newspaper links stays active.
That's what I'm about. Ramblin' Ed at 10:59 AM
I am from the American southland. I am well travelled (North America, Asia, Central America, Australia,and Caribbean) and I enjoy life. Not a wild eyed and crazy dude, but definately worldly...comfortable sipping coffee in a sidewalk cafe in Cartagena, Colombia or drinking beer in a pub in Raymond Terrace, Australia. I can ask for my change in Thai and Tagalog and I can request a fork in Japanese. I can tell you to piss off in both the Aussie and British dialects. I'm worldly, I tell ya. I am married to a diva from Bangkok, with my homelife being something akin to a live-in maid with football watching priveliges. Usually.

Good link, Ed.
I enjoyed reading about the Congressman's wife very much. The in-your-face attitude doesn't need to be applied 24/7, but there are times when that's the only thing that'll get results and it sounds like she does get it done, when necessary!
Yeah. I liked her. She's real.
Good post Ed!
I linked it on my blog. Thanks for sharing that article. It is a must read.
Yes, I forgot to mention that I spotted it at Kilo's Spark It Up!! and came over here and checked it out as I only check your blog in the a.m. as you normally, I say again, as you normally don't blog much past breakfast time.

I'm an enigma, Gunner.
That you are R' Ed.
Hey, talk about a coincidence. I followed a link at Kilo's to the Congressman's website and saw that there's a reservoir in his district with the same name as him... the C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir. Wow... what are the odds of that happening?
The chances are right fair. See, in Florida, which is still a distant second to Louisiana in these matters, when minor irritants such as ethics laws get in the way of something a politician wants, there's a quick vote and there you go, ethics laws changed and conflict averted.
What a WOMAN!!
Thanks, Ed.
