Away Message....29 Hour Notice....
Sooner or later it was going to happen. I have the opportunity to get away for a long weekend
up North. Things have been very busy and I ran out of runway this week as far as posting.
I will let you all down easy with a 29 hour notice the FFFF will not be posting for the first time
in many week.
Now that you're done b.inge sad and pouting, I promise to make it up to you.
Thanks for being there and being fans of the blog.
It means a lot!
I just need a retreat.
Stay safe, I'll be lurking when I can.

UPDATED: From Kiel to Kwajalein
H/T to reader John who sent a link to a very good article with lots of good information and photos pertaining to the USS Prinz Eugen . LINK
The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen at Boston Harbor 1946
The ship was laid down in 1936. In May of 1941, with the Bismarck, sank the mighty HMS Hood. The ship saw extensive service during WW2 and near the end of the war Prinz Eugen was used in assisting with the transport of German soldiers from the bad side of 'ol Mother Russia. Surrendered in May of 1945, the heavy cruiser eventually ended up being manned by a crew of 600 Germans and 88 Americans and sailed to Boston. From there the ship was used in early atomic tests near the Bikini Atol. Read more of about ship and its naval history, click HERE and HERE.

"Why show them any compassion?"
Birmingham Mass Shooting Suspect Appears In Chilling Documentary
This is a follow up to a story from a few weeks ago when a shooting occurred outside an "establishment" in downtown Birmingham where four people were shot and killed and another seventeen wounded. The video was in the STORY. Look for bias as these two sources are as left leaning as sources appear. If nothing else, take heed before visiting the "Magic City". This window into a darkness that people seem to ignore or at least chose to tolerate cannot be camouflaged. Do this necessary prep work. There will be an exam.
