Paul Krause was a Minnesota Viking back in the days of the Purple People Eaters and lives in the area. I've met him and he's a very nice man that you would never think was a football player.

Anyway, a bunch of us retirees were at Cracker Barrel for our monthly breakfast. We're all vets and of course had vet's hats on. When we got ready to leave we asked for our bill and the waitress laughed and said it was already paid. I asked who paid it and she said a nice man in a Vikings jacket. He picked up the bill for 10 men. I'm pretty sure it was Paul.

I can understand. I had the same concern for the Israelis women and children who were either killed or raped and killed a couple of years ago. Yet, it is a different thing between intentional and non-intentional. Evil knows no bounds.

It's still unclear where the blast came from. Also remember that the Iranians often put their fighters in schools.
Of course we have accidents, but we don't do anything like that on purpose. At least not the Army I was in.

I happened upon a battle ground, of the revolution war, that I was not aware of; they may be many more. And yes, I did pay attention during history classes. This battle is claimed to have been a turning point in the revolution, which is strange why it was in mentioned or stressed in my history classes (Battle of Kings Mountain:https://youtu.be/siUUA6KpY4s?si=Y3k_F537SP-BfPbW). It shows that some Americans don't take too kindly to threats.
