Why not exercise your brain this week and solve some puzzles?

I’d like to solve the puzzle, “#uck at work”
 
my Dad's caisson as we buried him with full military honors on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery

we thank Dad's escort platoon and honor guard and extend that gratitude to all of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment

we are comforted knowing he is in the most capable and respectful care of The Old Guard

20 years ago when I was in Arlington, our class teacher made sure we knew that if we took a picture of a funeral, the guard would swoop in and destroy our camera. Is that no longer the case, or perhaps they extend that right to only the family.

Never heard of this. I can see the sense of it, though. Taking photos of a funeral without the family's permission would be very intrusive, imo. Also, performing a funeral ceremony is one of the most dreaded duties for military members. It was always a very emotional evolution for me. Proud to do it, nevertheless.

Could have also been an 8th grade teacher doing all she could to corral her kids ;)
 
I don't believe there are any restrictions on photographs or videos. my sister hired a professional videographer for the occaision

I only took one photograph, not this one, this one was by my sister-in-law.
 
The article says “Typically, each barrel holds 53 gallons of bourbon and weighs about 550 pounds, according to WLKY.”

Not 31 gallons?

The barrels used by the big commercial distillers are 53 gallons - that's the standard size. Smaller craft distillers sometimes use smaller barrels - 15 or 30 gallons often.
