Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...we MUST not forget.

Is your cold weather gone now? We just had about an hour fo snow and now the sun is out.

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

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

THANK YOU
for your service!

[Mark17]

I wonder if the Space Force will establish their own academy, or will they just get some of their officers from the Air Force Academy?

[lightman]

We keep pivoting from hint of spring to hint of November.

Raw and showery today, slightly warmer and showery tomorrow, then cold for the weekend.

The only silver lining is that the flowering shrubs and bulbs will stick around for a while rather than quickly popping into leaf.

🇺🇸 ALways remember their
bravery and steadfastness! 🇺🇸

[PROCON]

WOO-HOO, thanks for Remembering and Honoring our Troops, Kathy!

[radu]

Hiwdy, Kathy.

Hump Day at last! I hope you weathered the storm with some sanity intact.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Have things calmed down over there yet?

Cool and breezy here today.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu.

Same here. It clouded up and looked so much like it would rain, but of course did not. *sigh*

Glad you had a good day. As long as “breezy” was in slight and not blowing-the-hair-off-your-head.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...we had mostly sun today, then an hour of snow, and now sun again.

[radu]

It started out cloudy but the skies cleared by late afternoon. The breeze was pretty stout but not as bad as yesterday. It’ll be like this the next couple of days as a couple more cold fronts come through.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...has your weather improved? All the roads clear and passable?

[luvie]

I’m not even sure what our forecast is except for the temperature going up. 75, 82, 88, 90, 90<-—next 5 days. Ack. I could use one of your cold fronts right now. LOL! I guess I’m just not ready for heat.

I hope those cold fronts you’re fixin’ta get are not as cold as they have been. But it’s still early. Are the farmers beginning their work yet? That’s always a big clue for you.
