317 - Legionette


For anyone keeping score, including any regular readers, covert surveillance professionals, Internet stalkers, and the numerous automated search bots that scan JSVB every day looking for keywords perhaps that match the junk they are trying to sell... my wife has decided to join The Legion.

Cool.  Clanking around Mediterranean Europe in loricum segmentum armour (pictured above), massing fearsome armies, plundering Sabines, that sounds awesome!

No, not that kind of legion, she says.

Holing up in ancient stone forts in the sandblown Sub-Saharan desert, holding off hordes of bloodthirsty Moorish mercenaries with naught but a rapier sword and a rusted Colt revolver pistol?

Not that kind of legion, either.

Try the Royal Canadian Legion, which supports war veterans and performs various community service.  Since her father is a veteran, my wife thought that joining the Legion would be a good way of supporting our troops.  That, and the parking downtown is free, the food is good and the beer is inexpensive.  As I said before: cool!
