Two days of good news would be nice.....wishing you the best.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope you are able to just do your part and not get an ulcer for the antics of the young without a clue. Hopefully they will learn something.

After a hard day.....

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!

Thanks very much, Kathy! That is most refreshing, indeed! I'm not getting an ulcer - I'm sitting back and enjoying the popcorn.

You have sooooo much more patience than I...you are doing exacting work.

Thunder and rain is a nice time to be mugged.

No homework tonight, so maybe early bed will work out. I’ve fallen asleep once already.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Too cool! Enjoy the show.

Are you on 12 hour days again?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))...what a cool picture. Hugging and kissing his girl.

[Kathy in Alaska]

You are most welcome, Right...I'm a sucker for those pictures. I love the refuelers. And you did the driving, huh?

We thank you for your service to our country. Did your wife drive, too?

[Kathy in Alaska]

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.
