Vaccine Mandate at Local Military Base

Was stationed in San Antonio back in the early to mid 1980's, Brooks AFB. Prefer not to go that far south. Thought about up near the panhandle of Oklahoma, but I know that's tornado alley up that way too.

And wildfires, blizzards and ice storms. :)

After several years of downsizing at the company I worked for in the Cleveland area, my job in industrial automation was finally eliminated. That was a few weeks after 9/11. After working a few temporary or low paying jobs, we finally retired and moved here in the Texas panhandle. My parents were retired over in New Mexico so that's the primary reason for settling here. It's been good but definitely not for everybody. There's a lot of space, 26 counties in the TX panhandle and only one moderately sized city (Amarillo) of about 200k. It has pretty good medical facilities and a pretty good VA hospital. Something to think about as we get older. Still, some people travel to Houston for some medical procedures. That's a two day drive for us, all of it in Texas.

The summers are still pretty hot. I'm looking forward to this one ending. It's supposed to hit 105 today. Of course, that will be a record high.

Blizzards and ice storms are half the fun! Can do without the wildfires though. :-)

Seriously though, since it is just me here I can pick up and move if the need arises, and it's looking like that might happen soon. If I can find some little burg out in the middle of nowhere that's not overrun by illegals and liberals, it would be worth it.

While I like working where I am, as far as the people I associate with and the work I do, and while most everyone (except for a couple of stinkers) think the world of me, but it just goes to show that one person can completely alter someone's destiny and the new commander here has done just that. Lots of folks, including me, miss the previous one. But I also know that God holds the reigns and though I am a bit nervous about what the future holds, I'm not afraid. If I have to leave out of here with my laptop, clothing, personal items and essential records, I'm up for it. Just gotta have a destination lined up.

Thanks for sharing.
