God Bless Our Troops, Shame On US

Uncle Bubba has been in Kentucky to work with issues associated with the recent flooding. During his work day he deals with members of the National Guard. It is striking to see the youthfulness of the men and women laden with such responsibility. Many, if not most of the troops that Uncle Bubba encountered had been to the Middle East or were new and eventually headed to serve there. Another striking thing that Uncle Bubba witnessed in the backwoods and hollers of Kentucky are the rattle trap, pieces-of-junk humvees that our service people showed up in. Obviously, we expect so much from our military personnel, yet invest nothing in their equipment. In Bubbie's view, we should be ashamed of ourselves.

Alabama Secret Gentlemen's Club

Uncle Bubba was toolin' down Highway 231 in L.A. or should I say... Lower Alabama, when an innocuous looking sign caught the corner of his eye. "What?", he yelled out laughing. He pulled the steering wheel to the left and U-turned in the median; he had to go back and see if he saw it correctly. Sure enough, he did...
