IRIS IMAGE

Acres, a gunner, is assigned to Company B, 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment. The detection device, part of an interagency system, scans an individual's biographical information and matches it against an internal database. The system allows soldiers in the field to quickly identify whether a person of interest is on a watch list. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Frank Inman

Permission Granted!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how were your bestest students today?

Dry? Rain?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I am off for home....

[left that other site]

They are all preparing for auditions in various places. So today was INTENSE.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy!

*HUGS*

And thanks very much for tonight's Remembering Our Troops thread!

Another follow-up with my Orthopedist tomorrow morning - the cast has been on for a month now - I would really like to get it off, but I suspect he'll probably keep it on for another two weeks.

Be safe! Have all the downed trees been cleared from the area?

[AZamericonnie]

And a very good evening to you Kathy! *Hugs*

A good commute with a stop on the way which got me home just about posting time. Dinner is on the stove.

More winds? When do they say this might stop for you all?

Quick question for you. Is there any agriculture at all in Alaska? Are home gardens of any kind even a possiblility?

How did pressure day go? I hope no homework this evening!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

That is so precious! Keep them all safe, Dear Lord!

Hope you had a great day Luvie Sue! *Hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

NO homework! Yippee!! I want to read some of the news, and maybe load some music.

These continuing HIGH winds seem to be new. Folks are saying they don’t remember when we’ve had such high winds.

Lots of growing things, lots of greenhouses. Things grow fast and big because the days are so long in the summer (but LOTS of rain and less sun this summer).

Pressure day was the best I’ve had in a while. Doing the homework bit meant I had the time to really take care of all my issues this week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yes...the novelty of a cast wears off really quickly. Are you able to walk on it at all? Much in the way of itchy problems?

[BIGLOOK]

Aloha Doc!

Fair to middlin' after a hectic week....

How're things going for you?

[ConorMacNessa]

I can walk on it - am getting to the point where I can put a fair amount of weight on the leg. Haven't had problems with itchiness.

Howdy, Conor! (((hugs)))

Indeed...amen to keeping them safe! They are the ones who keep all the rest of us safe!

[luvie]

Howdy, Connie Lou! ((((hugs))))

I will nearly bet she and her mommy Skype with Daddy every night that they can! I know Piper did when her Daddy was in
the middle east on TDY. :)

I had a great day!....and you?
