Also, @WholeFoods Pixel is quite disappointed that this 18oz container of blueberries that was just purchased within the last 20 min was more than half rotten and the shopper didn’t see until the container was opened (it was sealed with tape). All he got was a couple handfuls.

Once the vaccine was offered to my team at MCTP, I signed right up. Getting vaccinated was a huge relief and it allowed me to easily travel for work, spend face-to-face time with my team, and safely meet folks like @PatDonahoeArmy@TedMartin1775 & @stephdmartin and @MSNCMD_MAZ
Knowing my family has almost all been vaccinated is also a huge relief. My mom and (most of) my siblings and my niece and nephew, and my ex-husband too. I still worry about them all but this helps.
Got a booster seat with safety strap (like an adjustable seatbelt that clips onto his cushioned harness)
Now he can see out the windows easily.
Lots of breaks…
Traveling with Pixel is a lot like traveling with a toddler — he gets fussy, he has to stretch, he has to tinkle, he’s thirsty or hungry, and he sleeps in between all that.
I put towels in the bottom so he could reach the edge of the booster seat to rest his chin.
My friends over at @18airbornecorps have been doing a great job sharing stories and history of the Battle of the Bulge. But I promised months ago that I would do a thread on the story of when Tanks saved the Jumpy Bois so...
This guy here is Albin Irzyk, who commanded the 8th Tank Battalion of 4th Armored Division at the time. Irzyk would lead the Third Army elements sent to relieve Bastogne and provide “motivation” for the Germans to back TF up.
Irzyk commissioned into the Cavalry in 1940, which used to be its own Branch but we’ll talk about that in a few weeks 🙂
There’s a lot to this history, and we’re actually going to cover it quite a bit in a few weeks so let’s just focus on the 10th Armored Division for a minute because this is an important part of history that’s relevant to the Battle of the Bulge.
The 10th Armored Division was formed as part of our rapidly growing Armored Force during WWII. They were activated on 15 July 1942 at @FortBenning and placed under the command of Major General Paul Newgarden.
