Yes. In the final months of the war, once there was nothing happening in England, she was appointed an honorary second subaltern in the Auxillary Territorial Service. A few months later promoted to honorary junior commander. Plenty of photgraphs in uniform.

She served as a mechanic from spring of 1944.

I picked up my granddaughter from kindergarten a couple of weeks ago, some mom was just picking up a kid who licked the swing, although the teachers warned. But he has to try. A piece of the tongue remained on the swing . I licked a sled at his age - I still remember.

I am struggling & resisting and denying myself to buy new gun, for 1 year 2 months, 3 days since last purchase.
It is hard. We should start a group therapy.

and I found a way to fight this addiction. I bought a new wood for my Mauser, now I'm trying to fit it. The withdrawal stopped for a while.

Therapy is needed as because you are trying to resist. Have a drink tonight while looking at Gunbroker. Problem solved. Best therapy.

At dawn the telephone rings, "Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house."

"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"

"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot, he is dead".

"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"

"Is, Senor, that's the one."

"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?"

"From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod."

"Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"

"Nobody, Senor . He ate the meat of the dead horse."

"Dead horse? What dead horse?"

"The thoroughbred, Senor Rod."

"My prize thoroughbred is dead?"

"Yes, Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."

"Are you insane? What water cart?"

"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."

"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"

"The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."

"What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?!"

"Yes, Senor Rod."

"But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?"

"For the funeral, Senor Rod."

"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL??!!"

"Your wife's, Senor Rod". She showed up very late one night and I thought she was a thief, so I shot her with your new Kreighoff Limited Edition Custom Gold Engraved Trap Special with the custom Wenig Exhibition Grade Stock.

SILENCE... LONG SILENCE...VERY LONG SILENCE.

"Ernesto, if you scratched that shotgun, you're in deep shit."
