Fort Richardson Days

Are nearly over for this year. My ears are still ringing from being too near a Napoleon 12 pounder when it fired.

I mean literally ringing, as in I can't hear anything and my head hurts.

If Napoleon were my friend I would have teased him about being a 12 pounder (based on his size- get it?). Ha! He would just laugh and laugh.

Then he would probably have had my head chopped off.

Welcome to the wonderful world of tinnitus. It will be your constant companion for life. I have mine from a Mk51 5" gun mount in 1978.

As I understand it, the long-running assumption of NB as a runt may be mis-guided, due to differences in measuring systems. I think that the current view is that he was of average height for his time.

But, compared to us, of course, he was a midget. ;-)

Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the Vampires Lord on his Email: richvampirekindom@gmail.com
