Hot Cheetos

I am sure that some folks are familiar with "Hot Cheetos and Takis," i.e.:

Somehow we are on a "Hot Cheetos and Takis" kick - I think it started when Zack and I were at the Times Barber Shop, and he was wanting a snack, and the only chips they had were Hot Cheetos.

Although I am a fan, I did not think that Zack would be, so I told him that "only Chester Cheetah eats Hot Cheetos."  I did buy a bag later from Krogers, and, surprisingly, Zack ate some - although we had to keep a drink nearby.

I no longer buy Hot Cheetos, just regular ones, and we tell him that they are Hot Cheetos.  I picked up the song from listening to The Bill Handel show (KFI 640AM morning radio show) podcast - at some point they played it and it stuck.

So about 2 weeks ago I found the above on the YouTubes and played it for the kids, and they like it.

I have not been to a local store (or gas station) which sells Takis lately - next time I stop somewhere that has them, I'll pick them up, to make the whole thing complete.

And I hope to get a video soon of Zack and Bella singing and dancing to this song - watch this space!

One Year

One year ago the MilBlogosphere lost one of the best, Neptunus Lex.

Tonight, nationwide, numerous glasses of Jameson and Guinness were lifted in his honor.

There have been many tributes written, and I have no way to ever match the eloquence of those who have committed numerous kind and thoughtful words in memory of this man.

I never met him, but I checked his postings daily. I found out about his passing the morning after, having dragged myself out of bed around 0500 to hit the elliptical as part of my rehab from my lower back surgery. His blog post from the day before carried a not so insignificant amount of foreshadowing, alluding to an equipment malfunction on his aircraft, and reading the words that morning from one of his proxies with a photo of the missing man formation all but solidified my fears.

Since then we have had an initial commemoration of his passing, and now a one year remembrance.

His words have been repeated daily at another site, and his site remains active, hopefully in perpetuity. It's helped those of us who followed his words remember the man, and it has helped greatly.

Continued Fair Winds and Following Seas Sailor, and rest your oars.
