Restoring History!

A newly refurbished U.S. Air Force T-33 Shooting Star is displayed at the Lee County Veterans Museum, Bishopville, SC, Nov. 11, 2024. The T-33 was originally designed for training pilots and was flown by the U.S. Air Force from 1948 to the early 1980s. The T-33 continues to embody Air Force excellence and readiness as a display model at the LCVM. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Steven Cardo)

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...do you have snow? Rain? All I can see is ice on my street, altho a sand truck came thru a few hours ago.

I hope it won’t be too bad when I get out to the main roads. We will see as I head to the office in the morning. The garn checks are in...they should have been in last Saturday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...still really cold at your house?

You and Tippy stay warm!!!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

No snow yet. That comes in Friday, starting right around my bedtime. Just cold and cloudy - again - today, though the clouds finally moved off right before sunset.

I noticed things looked icy on the Lake Hood cam today. I guess the temp dropped overnight after y’all being fairly warm the past few days. Good that the sand truck showed up so you’ll be able to get out tomorrow. Those garn checks need to be sent out since they’re already late.

Ready for an early bedtime? :-)

[radu]

Howdy, PRO!

Was it necessary to send winter down here? You really didn’t need to share. :-)

I hope everything’s goin’ alright up your way.

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy, Canteen People!

Freezing here in NY — though probably Alaska makes this look balmy in comparison.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yep...the checks are late. I will drive very slowly and carefully.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...we must remember them, all of them.

[luvie]

We ALL love our troops!
They are the ones who keep us safe and free! ❤️🇺🇸💙

[radu]

Not the first time, won’t be the last.

Your driving isn’t the concern. I hope everyone else drives slowly and carefully so they don’t run into you!

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Have you had any snow showers today?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...we have had several days of above freezing.
Now it is below 32 and EVERYTHING is ice....looking out my window at the street is ALL ice.
Lots of snow has melted, but now the liquid is all ICE.

Stay warm and stay in if you are able.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, luvie...we owe them our thanks for sure.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

No snow that I know of...at least before dark. It’s all around us, but not actually here. It has been cold, though. Hard to get out early this morning, for sure.

How about you?

[luvie]

Absolutely, we do!
