Remembering D-Day and other trivia

Busy today, but I wanted to post some interesting things I read about today. First of all , I have spent most of my life explaining to people the the mark of the Beast is 3 "6's" not the four in my birthday, so weirdign out about a June 6th birthday - well it is just plain silly.

Second I want to thank the nice girl at WalMart who carded me last week for the Killians - still happy about that.

And now for some bits of birthday trivia:
