Not being very cold is a plus. It just needed to be cold enough for all that snow. :-)

It sure does make a difference in being able to see at night. With no snow, it’s DARK. Everything’s visible on the cams tonight. And it looks so pretty.
Just glad it’s there and not here. LOL!

EXTRACTING TROOPS

A U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter prepares to land in a field to extract U.S. Marines and Georgian soldiers during Operation Cyclone in Passau village in Afghanistan's Helmand province, April 11, 2014. The Marines are assigned to Georgian Liaison Team 11, and the Georgian soldiers are assigned to Bravo Company, 31st Georgian Light Infantry Battalion.

Sounds like maybe a thermostat?

I am off to get the snow off my car and head to the airport.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m off...talk to you later tonight.

[radu]

Have a safe drive there and back!

When I went to Law School I thought I'd be operating out of a classy corner office overlooking Biscayne Bay with a nice view of my 72 ft. Chris Craft Yacht-fisherman at its slip.

Instead, I'm ensconced in the concourse lever of an office building. "Concourse" is a euphemism for the basement - where you get all the fumes from the parking garage. Sitting in a large room with a couple dozen other lawyers, some of whom are, if you'll excuse the expression, low-down and high smelling. Sitting in front of a pair of 24 inch HD Monitors over which cascade document after document of absolutely mind-numbing triviality.

In the corner of the dimly-lit, stank room a fat guy, naked to the waist, beats on a drum, endlessly, endlessly - 48 beats per minute.

The attorneys who can't keep up with the beat are ruthlessly ripped away from their desks and kicked out onto the street, to beg for their bread with the homeless.

God, how I love the Law!

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape
and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."

SAFE PASSAGE, KATHY!!!



I HAVE YOUR SIX!!!

[PROCON]

LOL, Navy Bro, you should write a novel about your torment :-)

[PROCON]

Mine

[left that other site]

Usually, I plan on six songs but , judging from the crowd’s reactions and mood, might do a whole different set. So far, I have had several requests, ‘Ripple” by the Grateful Dead, “Say You Love me” by Fleetwood Mac, and “Jerusalem” by Me. (I printed the words to “Jerusalem on FR a few months ago, and a lot of our FReepers liked it a lot)

Aaaaaw, darn! Watching “Code Black” and wasn’t paying attention. Can’t slack up for a second around here, can one? LOL!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Army Bro!

Perhaps a slight exaggeration - but the fat guy in the corner is real!

"If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape

no snow, but to mr, it’s still cold

Evening radu. Not only do I have to watch out for that sneaky LUV, but now you too :-)

But LUV is the master at 50's

Watch her :-)

[radu]

Whaddya talkin’ about? You’re both masters at 50s. LOL!
But I’m somewhat of a master at “sneaky” and it pays off occasionally. ;-)

[luvie]

...till they all come home....

[luvie]

Darn! I was off doing other stuff, too! I’m gonna have to keep a reeeeealllly close watch on those magic 50s now! LOL!

[radu]

Doesn't pay to get distracted, does it?
