I really do appreciate the physicians and nurses who take care of us at the VA. The counter folks, not so much.

Duh, just look around!

Coincidentally her lease is up in 2 months. We went yesterday to look at a new one, the exact same car, just current model year, is literally TWICE the monthly nut.

Post Jits check in! Man it's rough on an old guy when these kids are getting ready for their fights this upcoming weekend in so-cal.

Starting my next book. Been looking forward to this one! A little nervous reading a first addition considering it's monetary value. No folding pages with this book.

better yet

about 4 months in Altus putting strobe lights in their KC-135’s as a mod upgrade

then I wised up a little, spent 6 months or so at Ft Sill staring at red tile roofs and learning how hard manual gunnery is

Nice, Lou. Notice it is a novel set in Norway published by Viking Press. That book has roots.
