Before World War II broke out, Poland was beginning to modernize its military. It was almost common knowledge, before the war started, of Hitlers intent to wipe out the Jewish race, and along with them, every person of Polish decent. Before the German invasion of Poland, which essentially started WWII, Poland, on the advice of Britain and France, ceased the modernization of its military as it may be seen as an act of war. So when the Germans invaded Poland with their tanks and aircraft, Poland was said to have about 1/3 of its military capabilities. To make matters worse, as Poland was being invaded from the west, basically fighting off tanks with cavalry, they were simultaneously attacked from the west by the Soviet Union. After 13 days, Poland surrendered, and while it was occupied by Germany, 2000 concentration camps were opened for business. One third of the eastern portion of the country was claimed by the Soviets, and the people in it now citizens of the Soviet Union. Anyone who resisted was executed. Along with its Jewish citizens, all teachers, professors, scientists, politicians and anyone of high standing were systematically murdered. 50% of those murdered were Polish Christians. 20% of the population was killed by the Soviet and German armies.

Hitler on the left, Stalin on the right.


So,
A) because the Polish people stood against impossible odds and did not give up their country, and
B) every smart person in the country was killed ...

Polish people are considered stupid.



Basically my tattoo idea is this, Polish Hussar cavalrymen, pictured above, at the top of my arm charging towards a bunch of tanks at the bottom. One of the Polish will be carrying a massive flag that spills out on to my chest, where I want the flag to drape over my heart.

The only rational woman in the Middle East? ...

I decided to take Molly to the top of my mountain, a short drive down the road, on the way there we found an automobile limbo pole ...

Much to my chagrin, as I zoomed in for a closer picture of the limbo pole, which is indeed resting on a power line, and yes, the extent of the towns efforts to clear up the mess is a few parking cones and police tape draped on the tree, my camera's batteries die. All my backup, fresh out of the box rechargeable batteries were dead. LOL stupid save the world consciousness! I have pictures to take god dammit!!!!

We hiked up the side of the mountain and took in the amazing view of the swollen Delaware River as Red tailed hawks and some other vulture sized birds flew overhead. I yelled my peace from the top of my mountain, hiked back down and returned home. Stopped at taco bell and shared some steak quesadillas with the pup.

Quite the relaxing day after a long week. P.S. Did I mention I might be buying the STI of my dreams
