Where in Minnesota can you possibly be?

Metro area (St. Paul)

[SAMWolf]

We're over-regulated here too. there is such an alphabet soup of government agencies I'm surprised we can get anything done sometimes.

Ship one aka Scorpion 1. Beautiful shot!

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Sam.

Oh, is it cold here. -7 and it is not gonna change today.

[SAMWolf]

We had a fog this morning but now it's sunny and warm. :-)

So, are you a ranger?

I was glued to the TV when not on duty during this period. My kid sister was already over there with the Pukin Chickens, and I was on mobility status.

VERY COOL watching the whole thing play out in or near realtime.

Hi miss Feather

[SAMWolf]

I was fascinated by the reporting of the of the inbeds during operation Iraqi Freedom. Stayed up all kind of wierd hours.

[Professional Engineer]

Hiya Sam.

[Professional Engineer]

Stayed up all kind of wierd hours.

I didn't sleep much the first two days. Too much cool stuff on TV.

Great presentation today.
Remember, like others, watching CNN hours on end listening to those guests of Saddam (or sad-am like Bush Sr called him) describing the bombings.
I remember Peter Ahrnet (sp?) stating to a collegue that he was the senior man on sight and he was reminding John Holland how important he (Peter) was. Holland died a few years later in a traffic accident I believe.
Nonetheless, Holland was a class act and Ahrnet is still a dirtbag.

The images of the Triple A going off over Baghdad is one thing that really sticks in my mind.

I thought we might hear from you today. :-)

Thanks for serving and sharing with us. Sounds like you did an outstanding job!

[snippy_about_it]

Good to hear from you Johnny. Sorry to hear no job or house sale yet. :-(

The business is going slow but we are confident it will pick up soon. You know we jumped in because of some of the same problems you are having and we just decided to do something about it ourselves. You should still think about it. Working somehow for yourself, it's long hours but their all yours!
