Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)) Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie...thanks for the Tribute to Our Troops.

A good day? Easy commute? *hugs*

No pains for my Mom last night or today. Thank goodness!!!
She thinks it was from dehydration. I don’t get it, but if a concerted effort to drink more works for her, HURRAH!!

I am off for home, and hopefully a quiet evening.

[ConorMacNessa]

The drive both in and home was okay - a little lengthy but uneventful. This morning we were at 12 degrees - we're all the way up to 23 now. The stiff wind we had yesterday has moderated. Snow is expected overnight - little accumulation in our area.

A good day at work - some problems with the program but nothing serious.

My legs are still shot from the treadmill on Monday. Will try it again tomorrow.

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Nite, Conor! :)

Thanks...home safe and sound. No rain yet, and the temps are in the high 20s....hoping the freezing rain will not happen.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[Kathy in Alaska]

We will ALWAYS remember. Things are going to get harder and harder for those committed to keeping America free. The people appreciate what they have done, and still do...their government seems not to care a whit.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for our National Anthem....the Greatest Irish Tenors do a wonderful job.

And I’ll bet they didn’t lip-sync!

[The Mayor]

Thank you! Thanks for the daily threads Kathy, you are a tireless Patriot my friend!

Wednesday’s are intense. All errors have to be fixed and corrections done by 2p so checks can be run, so it’s a race against the clock.

I got everything done except for a couple emails not returned in time. Each got paid, but is probably a little shorted and the other is probably a short due to rate of pay. I handle the security guys and some work multiple places at multiple rates each week. And the system doesn’t always total the way the manager wants...some jobs will handle OT, some will not, so I have to move things around per the manager.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, and thank you for each day’s Bible reading.
