Fieldnewsletter: National Museum of the Pacific War

We went to Fredericksburg yesterday and I enjoyed the museum while Wendy perused the shops. There is so much to see that they give you a pass that allows you 2 days of viewing. It is really interesting and we will have to go back some time to catch the sections that I kind of just breezed through as time was getting short.

War is so stupid and is such a waste of time, money, materials and lives. It mostly just produces grief. Man's inhumanity to man. And what for? Mostly just greed and pride. One year's enemies are next year's allies. I can see the reasons for protecting yourself but so many lives lost is just hard to comprehend.

Just something to think about I guess. Just wait until they start flippin nukes around. 7 billion on the planet and the bible prophesy teaches that billions will be killed. I'm sure glad I know where I'm going!! Do you??
On a lighter note back to some nice pictures.

This is a nice property for sale between Fredericksburg and Kerrville.

Don't know the cost but for sure is more than my budget will afford.
