Howdy, Kathy.

A pretty afternoon up there after a cloudy start. I saw there was a bit of shakin’ going on earlier this afternoon. Did you feel it at your house? It shook the Lake Hood cam.

Good evening, radu...no shaking that I can pinpoint for sure! Someone forgot to check the STUFF TO PRINT folder while at the office yesterday
and it contained things that needed to be printed and left at the front desk for pickup MONDAY.
So...someone had to go in and get that taken care of.

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy. So glad to see pride restored to our country.

[radu]

It wasn’t a real hard quake but it did jiggle the cam for a few seconds. The center was close to Willow.
Dang, sounds like your day hasn’t gone very well. The last thing you needed was a setback. :-(

[Kathy in Alaska]

Quite the handsome and YOUNG soldier. Thank you, Pro, for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, JBW1949....thanks for helping honor our vets.

The good old days.

[lightman]

Honor those who served....our Veterans.
Thank those currently serving....our Military.
NEVER forget those fallen in the line of duty…our Heroes.

And remember that tomorrow, Veterans’ Day, is for VETERANS.

Gotta say I have a special spot in my heart for the Corps. Married a fine young Marine in ‘71 and was so happy to be a military wife.

Howdy, luvie.

Did your alarm clock survive this morning? :-)

Hope it was a nice day there. Gloomy here, with a couple of small splashes of rain.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It barely survived...and hubby barely survived when he woke me from my nap this afternoon. I was sleeping so goooood! LOL!

I’d love some “gloomy... with splashes of rain”. Sounds like the perfect fall day to me! I guess I’ll just take, cool. Did you do anything or just stay in out of the smoke?
