John here

I hate it when I forget to log Peggy out first ...
Craig, Same here on both counts. I learned the joys of sleeping in a snow cave (with a humvee for a roof) in Cold-rea (Valiant Blitz '92). But I can't complain -- my sponsor at the Naval Academy, Maj USMC Ret, USNA '47 was a combat engineer who walked out of the Chosin Reservoir with Chesty Puller. He knew the cold of Korea like you and I *never* did

Heat wave tonight here in Tornado Alley (the Highlands of Alabama) -- supposed to be in the low fifties with T-storms. Got the gennie all ready to go.

Peggy and I agrred that all we want from Santa this year is the Rapture. But I suppose an F-5 ripping through here would be the same thing

Bring it!
