Beatles

I saw the beatles on the Ed Sulivan show on 9 Feb 1964 from Lowry AFB , Co.

Operation Flaming Dart

 

On 8 February 1965.with operation Flaming Dart I, for the first time the US targeted North Vietnamese army bases north of the DMZ. The U.S. Navy launched 99 fighter-bombers from three aircraft carriers— USS Hancock, USS Coral Sea, and USS Ranger. While the naval aircraft bombed Chanh Hoa, the Vietnamese Air Force and the U.S. Air Force attacked Chap Le. The VNAF used 28 propeller-driven A-1 Skyraider (among the pilots was Air Marshal Nguyễn Cao Kỳ, then a member of Vietnam's ruling junta), while the USAF had an equal number of jet-powered F-100 Super Sabres from the 3^rd TFW at Danang AB. I was a young 19 year old airman at Danang without a clue as to the quagmire we had just started.

First Date

 

Ford Maverick

 

I bought this truck in Sept 2021. 

After 13 months, I received it on 8 October 2022. 

Over 2 years and 3 months later, I still don't have 10,000 miles on it.

It should last me until the end.

Winter Solstice

I have celebrated the Winter Solstice for decades.

I use to celebrate outside with a big yule fire,

 my Solstice robe and several ceremonial practices.

Now I stay in by the fire and wear a Solstice t-shirt.

The years continue to roll but take their toll.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for not only what it represents,

 but also for all the great eats!
