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

Did you have a good Monday?

I know there are a bunch of them, and neat to see as you drive by.

[I had to look up SJW...I’ve seen it a lot lately and had no clue what it meant. LOL]

Yeah they canned him/her in Texas once they found out about it. Should have canned the manager, too, who didn’t can him/her on the spot. I would have. Pronto. Cops went through the drive-thru and the SJW went off on them and refused to serve them.

It’s a nice park to walk around - hopefully not too hot right now. i just parked out front and walked over. Good stuff.

BTW, I was a kid riding my small cycle in an Oklahoma park way back when a Blue Angels F-4 Phantom II streaked over REAL low - probably just made a low pass at the air show (didn’t know one was going on).

It’s quite a thing when an F-4 passes just over your head (it was in front of me as I looked up) and you weren’t expecting it. He was pretty low - I just looked up and saw the streak of Blue and Yellow and heard the roar of the J-79’s - through my helmet. Didn’t know what a J-79 was at that time. So it was an introduction. This had to be 1971 or 1972, I think. Possibly 1970 but I just don’t know for sure.

So you have a connection of sorts to this base, do ya? :-)

Howdy, Kathy.

Hope you had a smooth Monday at work. FEW corrections to deal with.

BRRRR! It’s getting COLD up there!
And it appears you’ve sent a bit of it down here. LOL! Not a fun day to be outside today and I’ve had to turn on the heaters in here already tonight.

You’re very welcome. Glad I could do it. With all the copying and pasting, I had to tweak the code a bit to get it to work, but it looks ok....I guess. LOL! Lauren would know for sure.

You will be missed, but have fun visiting your sis! If you ever get up there to see her, you need to meet up with Ms. B. She’s a hoot. :)

Indeed, both of them should have been canned! I remember reading about that and wondering how on earth that could even happen in Texas. We all [mostly] love our LEO’s!

Having an F-4 Phantom fly right over you had to be a thrill. Would be for me...even if it happened today! I love military aircraft!

Well, guess you’d better enjoy your home time while you have it! 4 weeks on the go...that’s a lot! You’ll be ready to flop when that’s done! LOL!

Got some nice pics of one parking with my zoom lens about 30 years ago - they still let you get close.

It was a surprise to see an F-14 Tomcat parked next to an F-15 Eagle (probably a C model F-15).

This Tomcat was HUGE. Now there are just in museums. And still looking for parts in Iran. Since Iran got F-14A’s, they probably have the TF-30. Ya don’t want to yaw the nose with those at low altitude, reportedly.

It was a cool day here - low 60s - but not so nice. The wind took ALL the fun out of it. I took Churchill out for some exercise and he didn’t want to stay out long at all. The wind died down soon after sunset and tomorrow’s supposed to be a little warmer. Maybe he’ll want to stay out longer after his trip to the vet tomorrow afternoon.
Gotta get through a cold night first. It isn’t 10:00 yet and it’s already down in the mid 40s. Clear skies and low humidity could have us seeing 30s before morning. brrrr!
