The is the death chamber in New Grange, the oldest solar observatory in the world. New Grange was built around 3200 BC which predates Stone Henge and the Great Pyramids of Egypt. This chamber is aligned with the Winter Solstice and the sun's rays shine through to the chamber.

November 11th - Veterans Day

Today is Veterans Day and I like to take this day as a veteran, to reflect upon my own life and to think about other veterans who have honorably served our country during wars and conflicts in all of our wars. I also remember the fallen who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country; their lives.

Please take a moment of your own and thank a veteran for their service; when they were asked to step up and fight for our country, they did with honor.

Thanks,

Butch

Happy Guy Fawkes Day

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason

Should ever be forgot. . .

Memorial Day

Memorial Day - A Day of Remembering.

This day is a day set aside for us to pause and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country; their lives. We honor them all year, but specially on this day do we solemnly remember what they gave for their country.
