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

I know these geese!

[The Mayor]

I know them too, all over the rivers edges on Grand Island where we live. Love to see them but hate their leftovers on the ground.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...did you have a good Veteran's Day?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Exactly!!

I enjoy them most when they are learning to fly in formation in the fall. The progression is fun to watch, until they finally learn to fly in a V.

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy!

Uneventful Veteran's Day this year for me although my new home had a lot of activities going on.

I did get a great discount though while shopping a bit today :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good for you!!! You deserve it.

Evening, Kathy. I’m so grateful to our fighting forces.

Good evening/morning, Mooch...

I am grateful as well. Where would our country be without them? The current administration seems set on finding out.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for Arrowhead's recovery, and in his absence....
