Hey there, radu!
It was a great day up till the moment I heard about the raid on Mar A Lago. Now I’m angry. LOL!
Hope your day was better.
I thought about the raid right after I hit “post” and figured that’s what has you steamed, as it does all of us.
It’s been a pretty good day here. I managed to get the grocery shopping done without messing my back up again, though it’s a bit sore at the moment. Nothing like Saturday night at least.
Been outside watching a “light show” as a storm slowly creeps up this way. We’ll see if it holds up long enough to give us some rain.
Oooo....I hope it does give you some rain. That would be awesome. Maybe it’ll also give you some cool lightning pics.
No rain here even though it was cloudy part of the day. It was definitely more pleasant at 95 than it has been for weeks. Right now it’s 86 and for the rest of the week will be 93 or less. WooHoo!
At least 1/2 of America is mad right now. LOL! It’s hard to wrap your brain around what they just did to a former president.
A a lifelong Southwest Oklahoma resident, I know Ft. Sill very well. It's one of the best if not the best outstanding military installations in the country. Now a part of "Latwon-Ft. Sill as a matter of fact.
Lot's of good info too.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Glad to hear you're going to have some decent temps there for a change. 'Bout time!
I did get a couple of cool lightning shots earlier. Got one snapshot of the moon and the clouds as some lightning popped off ...
I zoomed in a little for video and the next two shots are the same bolt a split second apart ...
As you can see here the lake is very low. We haven't had much rain in awhile.
Wow! Those are excellent! Glad the lightning finally cooperated even if it was a way’s off. The moon is stunning, too. It’ll be full in about 3 days, but it already looks pretty darn close.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Wow! The lake really has dropped a lot! Y’all need some rain bad! It’s surprising to see everything so green under the circumstances.
It looks like Gizmo had a lot of fun roaming around.
Thanks. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to get lightning shots. The lightning seems to always stay inside the clouds lately rather than throwing some bolts.
Full moon Friday night. We don’t have rain in the forecast then so we should have a nice view of it for a change.
Unless the forecast changes between now and then.
Well, truthfully, I’d take rain over the moon. We can see it any time. LOL! But I do love a full moon.
Guess I’d better get to sleep. I keep staying up later and later. Yep...turning into at least a mini-vampire. :) See ya tomorrow!
It’s a shame you didn’t get rain with the front coming through. At least you’re getting cooler temps out of the deal.
You’re going to be a full-fledged vampire like me at the rate you’re going. LOL Sleep well. Catch ya tomorrow.
Hi Laure Marlowe and all the Canteeners! And a big salute to our military and veterans!
A long time ago, I fired howitzers there at advanced individual training.
Funny, had a Scout plt roommate in Germany, Idi Amin, (huge black guy named Edye) was shorted a couple months on his enlistment contract of his promised time at Ft. Polk.
EVERY formation when the plt sgt would ask if there were any questions, Idi would ask “When I gonna get my two months at Foht Poke?”
He was a good guy, drove a 113 like a maniac, LOL.
They finally sent him back to Polk two months early and he ETS-ed there.
Howdy Star! So sorry to have missed you, and we miss you, hope you’re doing well!
I must have ticked someone off since I got sentenced there for 3 years.😁
