It contains a military airport known as Alvin Callender Field which is located three nautical miles south of the central business district of New Orleans.

As home to commands representing multiple government agencies, NAS JRB New Orleans supports a unique population who live, work or serve on board the installation. On a daily basis, NAS JRB New Orleans is a constant center of activity for air operations, ground operations, and a variety of family support services.

Good evening, Pro...is fall coming?

[Soaring Feather]

WOW, high winds are scary...hope you don’t have to worry about anything more than wet leaves.

Nail everything down ma.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I have flashlights and hurricane lamps and solar lights and the solar chargers for them. I’m trying to get a solar generator up here. They don’t ship here, but I shipped it to my sis, and her hubby is working on getting it up here. I’m just too old to manhandle the gas generator and make sure I have gas, etc. So I’m anxiously waiting. It will be easy and quiet.

Heat is the only issue, I think, but we have lots of blankets and the nights are staying above 40.

The trees worry me, but nothing I can do now.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a good Monday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I always worry about the trees in the back yard. If any fall towards the house, they hit the house. I hate high winds.

The ones last week bent my flag pole on the porch in half. I need a new pole before I can put the flag back out.

You still having nice weather?

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...are your monsoons over yet?

Charlie liking his new haircut?

I’m ready for Friday.

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy!

Our Fall has been in the air for a few weeks now, although we're still getting sunny weather, the temps are into the 70's during the day, quite comfortable!

[SandRat]

Monsoons are off and ons.

charlie is ust to his gair cut. Belly rubs are better now, at least he dog asks for more.

[Soaring Feather]

We are having lovely weather, warm though to the point of muggy. Blue skies are beautiful...tonight’s sunset was shrimp color, with streaks of blue, so pretty.

Remember, pink sky at -— night sailors delight.
Maybe you will have to wait a bit before you set out the flag?

[Soaring Feather]

Howdy Do, Du -— you still have that huge pecan tree in the yard? I had never seen nut trees before, although I guess we do have nut trees around.

HUGS

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[PROCON]

Howdy radu!

This guy has been a lazy butt all weekend, didn't do much of anything. Son has been busy with school and work and friends so he hasn't been over.

Cooling off into the 70's but sunny nonetheless.

How wuz your Weekend/Monday?

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOOHOO!!! Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...pretty exciting.

Prayers for safe travel and a great interview.

[radu]

Howdy, ms. feather! *Hugz*

Yes, we still have pecans trees in the yards. A couple were trashed by the tornado 5 years ago but the rest are still producing pecans for the critters to gnaw on. A couple of friends come by each fall to gather some too.
Probably won’t be as many this year since it’s been such a dry summer and what we do get will be small.

How are you doing? Did they take you off that med so you won’t itch any more?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...high wind warnings coming here tomorrow.

And rain too.

I’m off for home.

[luvie]

Great road trip. Mine is to OKC and then MO. :)

[SkyDancer]

I missed out on the class date of Sept.16th. I’ll learn more on the interview. Here’s a URL of their website: http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines/major-national-lcc/frontier_airlines and: http://www.willflyforfood.com/pilot-interviews/141/Frontier-Airlines.html: This is what I reviewed for my interview.

[luvie]

Howdy, radu! Man! Long road trip. LOL! I don’t think I’ll be staying up late-late tonight! :)

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Being a lazy butt is good for us all every now and then. Lucky you getting to partake of the pleasure this weekend. :-)

Bummer you didn’t get to spend any time with your son though.

It was a busy-ish weekend here. Spent time at the HQ Fri. and Sat. nights and had a good time. With the fall festival going on, we had more people stopping in for yard signs, bumper stickers, and other stuff.

Pulled my regular Monday shift there today.

Now watching the special CBS is airing on the JonBenet Ramsey case. Very interesting stuff they’re coming up with.
