I don’t see the problem.
I have white 501 button fly Levi jeans. Just washing them is simple. I got them in Maine on sale when I knew I was moving to Florida.

HERE I AM IN FLORIDA.

Capt Stratton lives here at Fleet Landing. I arrived in Dec and have not met him yet. Nice to know he has been writing about his POW years.

I agree with his assessment of obamacare. But where are the exit polling numbers which tie this FL election to obamacare?

It’s been a while, but I seem to remember the requirement even to exit your car and stand and salute.

I will never forget this movie, seen when I was 6.
“Hey,wait for me!”
The Sullivan’s has been here at Mayport NS

I have ordered custom frames to go with my new Florida U.S Air Force license plates. The owners of the site are both former U S air combat pilots,father and son. You will enjoy visiting:

I created a GI Joe long before, when ii was about 10, say1947.i played with plastic toy soldiers for years . One day I found a doll of a man in a blue suit, tie and all. Prob 12 in with movable arms and legs. I quickly painted his suit olive from my model airplane supplies. I fashioned a helmet from medical adhesive tape and painted that olive. Not sure how long I had him but at some point buried him and never dug him up. Larry

With another old military retired couple we spent too much of Christmas Day talking about Tricare,Medicare,the VA,Mayo Clinic and our aches and pains.We are well covered unlike many.

Where did Jay go to high school? His name is the same as a boy I remember in Philadelphia

That is Cape Canaveral AFS. Why is Air Force left off these civilian pages?

Up late again with empty wine glass. I love Florida military bases. My first visit to FL was in a C -47 to MacDill AFB as an ROTC freshman . Next year to Homestead AFB.
I think in the 60s thru 90s I went TDY to Patrick AFB/Cape Canaveral AFS 300 times for launch preps.
NOW...NOW I am finally gonna move there!!!

This time near a Navy Station, Mayport . in Dec I will change. my FR home state from Downeast Maiine to Atlantic Beach FLORIDA.

I discovered that this is available to NON subscribers. Thank you for adding me to ping. I still understand most of what Joe says,after almost 50 years since my degree. Joe is a Denier which is prob one reason he left accuweather and start weatherbell.
My son is in Arcata. We lived in Manhattan Bch for 30 years before following our daughter to Maine. We move to Florida in December.
I miss Calif but no way would I pay your taxes or Maines anymore.

500 MILES

If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Lord I’m one, Lord I’m two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m four,
Lord I’m 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord I’m five hundred miles from my home.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I can’t go a-home this a-way.

If you miss the train I’m on you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.

Peter,Paul and Mary did a song with “a thousand miles from my home” in it some where. “ when you hear the train I’m on,You’ll know that I am gone...”
I’m usually in bed for the start of the Canteen, but here I am.

Grandma Johnson used to feed Grandpa Johnson while he drove with both his hands on the wheel. This was in the 40s and earlier. I was told this by my Mother who was always at odds with her MIL.

I retired from the USAF, serving 22 years, as a meteorologist for 10 and aerospace engineer for 12. I worked in early military weather satellite operations. I switched to launch ops of other military and civil space missions. My civilian career was 15 years consulting to the USAF in the same areas. Always a Republican,I became more conservative after my VietNam tour.

The Air Force turned me into a gym rat. I have been certified by the American Council on Exercise(ACE) and I am a member of the Senior Fitness Association. Here in Maine I train new gym members in trade for my membership. Larry

I was a gov contractor in N Va in 95. I recall our whole office was essential. Early in 96, I took early retirement ‘cause I felt I was no longer making a difference.

I read your bio. SALUTE

Gordy was considered the best pilot by his peers,the other astronauts assigned to the MOL program,the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory. This was in the mid 60’s. MOL was cancelled in 1969 and He and a few others went on to fly shuttle. I flew with him in a T-39 from LA AirForce Base to Patrick AFB one time. I was the MOL meteorologist.

I saw the interview and whooped when h said smething like I had just told sme friends,that they had too many people involved and needed to up technology.
I had 30 years of active military and contractor service, most with top clearances,including intel. I had background checks for each new job that took 6 months or more.
I think technology got ahead of these agencies and they had to depend on people WITHOUT proper background investigation.
obama would never had got past the first checks. So ths admin prob relaxed requirements across the board. clinton did this to, I believe.

I doubt she’ll make it. I heard Beck interviewing her on air. She came off as unprepared although I’m sure she’s smart.

Backseat, from LAX out over to Edwards and back to LAX where MOL had about three 38’s. Others who went on to shuttle were Truly, Fullerton,Crippen and Overmeyer. I got in shape running with these MOL test pilots.

skypilot,one of my best events in my AF career was a ride in a T-38 in ‘69. Pilot was Carol Bobko who later flew the shuttle. At the time he and a dozen other AF Manned Orbiting Laboratory astronauts were waiting to be reassigned after MOL was cancelled. I was their weather officer and I was reassigned to VietNam.

Very Sad. I served at this base, 14 years active and 10 as a contractor.

Can we just blame the big insurance cos?
If there was only (Single payer?) the govmnt it would be way cheaper.

Move closer to her. My Dad spent 8 years in a “home” in PA while I visited from CA with my job but th guilt remains. He was NOT able to move to a “home” near me.

From: HUGO(Larry's friend, a Lutheran scholar) Subject: Re: Pondering the Mysterious Word in the Lord?s Prayer No One Can Agree how to Translate Date: Thursday, June 27, 2013 3:29 PM  Epiousion. The writer is correct. There is no really adequate explanation of its meaning, and so it is debated from time to time. But some decades ago it was finally found among some papyrus manuscripts uncovered in Egypt--used as stuffing for a crocodile, if I remember right. The papyrus was a menu, probably from an ancient restaurant. So that seems to indicate that the translation "daily bread" is not far off. Of course, the English translation depends upon ancient translations in the Latin Vulgate, Syriac and other early versions of the Bible, and the men who translated them presumably knew it from daily use, even though it never found its way into lexicons or dictionaries. At least this is what I remember from Seminary days. Hope it helps. Hugo

There are many of us who have some disability, approved by the VA after their review. Less than 50% provides a token (tax free, if retired) check.

can blame be laid on insurane companies?

Can it be argued that rate increases are the fault of evil greedy insurance companies?

I plan to move to Atlantic Beach(Fleet Landing) when I sell my place here in Maine. Shop and gym at Mayport NS too. I hope to avoid JAX and its bad hoods and beaches.

I have my two houses in Maine listed with their real estate branch. Search Mack Cove.

My Great Grandpa, Lars Gustav (known as LG)Johnson worked in a Penna. coal mine. He came from Sweden about 1880 and did lumber for a while. My Grandpa Albert was born in PA but they were able to move to Schenectady NY where GE was hiring. Three generations worked for GE there and lived in the same house from which they walked to work.

Long time since I’ve seen your two cents.
These AP wiretaps and IRS audits ARE the coverup of Benghazi by deliberate distraction.

Keep on Benghazi. I think AP wiretaps and IRS audits are a deliberate distraction by admin so we forget about what matters. That said, it is harder for me to get into the legal distractions. My mind is on security.

330 plus or minus 10 ppm is in my 1959 meteorology text for CO2.
I don’t recall being shocked at this number compared to pre industrial revolution. Of course 1959 was a naive period.
parts per million, people!!

I hung on to every word in their testimony(that wasn't interrupted by FOX babe and commercials.
The questions and answers seemed rehearsed and to avoid on scene accounts EXCEPT for now dead embassy chief.

We have heard from whistle blowers, none of whom where in Bengazi. When will we hear from survivors or rescuers that were there?
