We were at 43 or 44 all day yesterday. Good morning and (((HUGS))).
Howdy, Arrow! (((hugs)))
Hope your day is warmer...before the next cold front hits tomorrow. I think we’re having winter this year! :)
Love that cute owl, LUV
It’s a foggy, damp 39 here..Any moisture is welcome..This day it will warm up to 60..then back to the 40s..
Yes, we are having our regular winter, rather than the mid 50s to mid 60s daytime temps.
((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. How’s it going?
We will have similar weather as you have. Up - down temps with light drizzle. Repeat daily.
The roller coaster weather continues!
I was at the Key West Naval Air Station during the Cuban Missle crisis.
The place was so crowded with aircraft that they were diagonal parked along the sides of the runway.
There were aircraft from the Air Force, Navy and Marines.
It was so crowded there was no more space to pitch tents so military forces were put up in hotels and motels all over Key West.
It looked like something out of a WWII Movie with every street packed with military men in uniform with Jeeps and military trucks transporting troops back and forth to the base.
WOW! That would be a sight no one would forget, especially knowing why you were there.
Thanks, Iron Munro, for sharing your experiences.
It was quite an experience.
Aircraft and men along with equipment of every type and we were fully ready to go on a moment's notice.
It's probably difficult for many to imagine today but there was a very real fear that the confrontation would end with an exchange of missles or some other hostile action between us and the USSR and Cuba.
And knowing we were geared up to protect our own country there was an entirely different mindset than if we were facing hostile action in a foreign country.
Hope you are having a good day Kathy. We may hit the mid 60s, but the sun just started peeking through the clouds the past hour or so and it is only 50 now.
BTTTT
Awwww! It’s been great so far! :) hope you’ve had a good one too! (((Hugs)))
Awww. Cute Kitteh gives a Flower!

Alas, Key West is no longer my sleepy little Navy town. I'm glad I still remember what it was like back then.
