Guard duty? Among the postwar krauts? Was this really necessary or was it just one of those ways that the army could punish you when they were in the mood?
It doesn't sound too bad. I guess that two hours would just be like hanging out on oh, the corner of 55th and Kedzie, watching all the cars go by. I could do that. Peeling potatoes not so much, dealing with food is messy.
I don't know that you can just decide not to apply a law because too many want to avail themselves of it. Kind of like the current day Trumpists who say voting is fine, but too many citizens are doing it so we will have to make it harder for them. I suppose international law can be changed, but aren't the parties obligated to obey it until it is changed? You think that Poland, with their current dictator is ahead of the US with its former dictator deposed, though still not behind bars?
Here take a look at this, https://news.yahoo.com/trump-republicans-found-authoritarian-love-120004380.html I don't know if you have seen this on your narrow news feed. It reminds me how before WW II a lot of prominent Americans and Brits were very fond of Mussolini and Hitler.
Sun rising a bit after seven this morning, it will be setting a bit after six this evening as we approach the winter solstice, shockingly only two months away. The weather is still pretty nice. Had supper on the banks of the Chicago River, but at 45 degrees it may just be too cold to enjoy reading the paper on my balcony with my cat on my lap. Oh just another winter. Not much to say this morning. Early Wednesday morning I will be boarding that old grey dog for a foray down to Nap Town. The main activity there will be riding this big bus that is hooked to other busses like a train and drives up and down the main street and picks up and drops off people for free and we will be visiting seven or eight brewpubs. Maybe some adventure will occur in the course of that to kick me out of my doldrums.
