No snow, Kathy - our temp at 11:00 pm is 52F - cold front moving in - will drop to 35F tonight - rain. Back in the days of my youth, when I was running every day, I found the worst possible weather was rain with temps below 40 - especially if there was any wind, which there usually was. Remember the sting of the raindrops on my face.

Sorry to digress - shopping is complete - wrapping still to do.

A Happy Christmas to you and yours!

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Way cool...sharing memories.

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.
