We toured New Orleans 5 days ahead of Katrina!

We ariver in Houston 4 days ahead of Ike!

We went to Ft. Stocken and they had the first snow in half the population's memory!

They had 4 more storms that winter just for good measure!

We went to lake Tahoe and the water dropped!

We took our boat out of Lake Mead and now it's mud holes!

We visited our old lake home and the damn went out!

Last week we toured NASA, the exhibits are leaving for San Francisco!

Feel free to leave comments, we'll visit those that don't understand!

Carpe Diem!

Kevin,

I'd be afraid to visit Naples, Mount Vesuvius might erupt!

Good to hear from you!

Add friends and it's paradise.

Jon,

This time 2 years ago Houston was flooded.

Today it's dry. Have you heard about the Texas' fires just to the west?

Jon,

We were told we had to pose in front of a green screen to take the tram tour.

On the way out they charged for the photos.

We'll be in Holiday, FL (My parents winter there with lotts of family.) some time next spring, to get close and not spend some time with you would just add to my paranoia. 8>))

Bill

You'd be blue too, with out a space suit.

Bill, maybe it's time to return to Texas. They sure need help over there.

Cool picture... they can do a lot by taking your picture or movie against a green or blue backdrop.

And they say that we actually went to the moon. ;)

Well, Bill you can't please everybody. lol

Seriously, it's a great picture of you and Brenda. :)

I have been thinking of you guys over there. I have some friends living in the area of the wildfires.

I hope you're prepared to leave in moment's notice just in case.

Yolanda,

Brenda and I are not in any fire danger it's a long way away. Smoke maybe, but after all those years in Las Vegas that's nothing new.

I wanted to say something about O'Falaen, but couldn't place it, so I looked it up. I'm sure I've flown several Cessnas and a Bonanza over it, but never lower than about 5,500 feet.

Bill, O'Fallon is next door to Scott Air Force Base in Southwestern Illinois.

We're only 25 minutes away east of St. Louis, across the great Mississippi River, and maybe 45 minutes away from another city called O'Fallon on the Missouri side.

Before we were stationed on base here, we didn't know O'Fallon existed either. lol

See where paranoia takes you. :)
