Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[USAF1985]

I work out of Patrick and frequently have to fly cross country to LA Space Force Base for space related meetings. Since it borders LAX, I rarely find myself leaving the El Segundo area. Never will I venture into LA anymore.

[radu]

Howdy, lauren. *HUGZ*

Did you get through the day intact? I hear it got a bit rough in some parts of TX today.

[Yogafist]

A friend of mine works for a contractor on that base. He doesn’t have many nice things to say about it.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Every time I hear El Segundo I think of Fred Sanford mentioning it in a monster movie on TV about some creature that ate El Segundo.

Los Angeles Los Angeles, the city so nice they named it...er they didn’t name it. In the olden days a bunch of Spaniards came through and remarked “eh. Estamos en Los Ángeles (hey. We’re in Los Angeles).”

Hi radu, nothing planned this week, lazy weekend to boot but the grass is starting to grow so lawnmowing season is upon us and that will give me some weekly exercise, plus I enjoy it.

How are you doing?
