Wild Card/Tuesday — 6.24.14

Great day to be at the helm of the USS Huckleberries Tuesday. First, there was the visitor who gave me an envelope full of money to pay for a B-17 flight for Stickman at the Coeur d'Alene Airport today. The gracious donor provided the money "out of appreciation for the generous nature of Stickman's service to our country, provision of walking sticks to so many & care of Tubbs Hill (by Stickman & Walkabout)." It was wonderful to see the look on Stickman's face as I handed him the envelope just as -- believe it or not -- the B-17 flew over. Then, I headed home to help Mrs. O host my mother's 89th birthday party. My two local siblings and their families were there. A very good evening to conclude another very good day at Hucks Central. Now for your Wild Card ...
