Sure will. The SWFL cam is up and running now and the Decorah ones will be on 10-6. Lots of birdies to distract and entertain us!

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.
((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Lauren. How's it going?

Oh wow! Already? COOL! I hadn’t checked lately. Just now checked the sea eagle cam, which was running the other night but it isn’t now. But a chatter said the NEFL cam is up too. I didn’t think they came up until later in the month for some reason. Time to keep a close eye on the others as well, like IL and MN.
Gonna be nice to see our old feathered friends again. :-)

I sort of troll through them daily, and Dale Hollow is up and the nest is full of grass. LOL!
DC, Trio and Hanover are still shut down, as are all the owl cams. Although there was a video on FB this afternoon that there was an owl hooting in OKC! The cam is still down, though.
Guess I’d better go. Staying up past 3am last night has caught up with me. I guess the Night Owl is getting lazy. LOL! See ya tomorrow night. Quiz night. Already?? Sheesh! Anyhooooo...

Guess it’s time to get on the stick and start checking them all out again. I just didn’t expect any of them to be up yet. I’ve checked the Savannah cam periodically but check more often now that owls have been to the nest the past couple of weeks.
Catch ya for the quiz! Sleep well.

Today is a bittersweet day for me. My first experience in losing people I got to know in the pressure cooker of a combat zone happened during my participation in Operation Restore Hope. Fast friends made during my deployment with the 50th Public Affairs Detachment, assigned to 1st Brigade 10th Mountain Division, Mogadishu Somalia. The memory of the young E-5 sergeant I featured in a story on training infantry soldiers for riot control, and the MP SSG on convoy escort duty with us during a week long trek to Kismayou. Both from the 977th MP Company, both killed on this day 24 years ago.
I had already left country by the time this battle erupted, but I’d known some of the people involved and their death affected me like I was there when it happened. Its why I volunteered to go back that Christmas and spent another 10 days in that hell hole to try and exercise my guilt for not being there when it happened.
I wish I could say it was the only time I lost friends while in harms way, but I can’t. But today, I will remember and honor them and when I’m finally home tonight, lift a glass in their honor. You’re never forgotten. #RTLW #ArmyTeam #NeverForget

Yes indeed...I did NOT want to turn the heat on till November, so I turned the thermostat down below 60.
The heat came on this morning. Grrrrr.

A long time FReeper and frequent poster in the Canteen has passed away.
bentfeather/Soaring Feather died on September 28, 2017 Here is
Her Obituary
She also had a poetry thread here in Free Republic for several years. "Of Broomsticks and Thistles and old bones that rattle down old dirt roads driving rusty old jalopies white with dust and time while grey headed ghosts turn with a grin a toothy smile he smiles at the two of them he looks straight thru them as an xray machine and counts the vertabre line by line quickly he turns with a jerk and a shout his pig nose exposes an obnoxious smirk his hollow eyes gleam red and down this dirt road everyone is dead. (C) soaring feather 7/4/2014" *From her home page*
