when i was driving to work in the morning i had the new prague radio station on. and there was mention of events marking the upcoming veterans day. at the end of one speech it referenced the song 'goodnight saigon' by billy joel. i was not too familiar with it. but i found it on youtube. it does seem to capture the vietnam war well, from a soldier's perspective. the speaker said it was representative of the marines. and i had to look up 'parris island', which is early in the song, found out this is a training center for marines, in south carolina. at work there was two notable things. first was how three techs arrived in order to get the expansion tray moved to the check printer that is still working. and mention of how we are still waiting for parts. in this case it is a fan, as it has been overheating. i am told if this doesn't work then there is no choice but to replace the unit. still no idea when the parts will arrive though. the other notable thing was getting registered for benefits, for the new year. it was the last thing i did before leaving for the day. when i have four days off, and the deadline to register is in a week, i decided it was the best time to get it done. on 'young sheldon' we meet mandy's parents. later on i went on a walk and found 67 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when raj and penny were acting like twins. it was followed by the one where lewis black was a guest star, as a cricket expert. i drank the can of inbound with the evening meal so now 5 beers are waiting.
