Another warm day here, too. It’s already above 70, headed up to 88. The weekend is supposed to be mid to high 80’s and above 90 all next week. Air Conditioner season has arrived.
For the first time in several years, Memorial Day will be celebrated on Memorial Day (5/30). It is easy for me to remember that date because – before they changed it to a Monday holiday – a good friend was killed in the crash of his military jet on Memorial Day. He died a hero, though. His jet flamed out and couldn’t be restarted. He stayed with it long enough to maneuver it away from the base housing where the spouses and children were before he tried to eject. They found the ejection levers up in the release position, but it was just that second too late.
Good morning, Vagabonds.
Mark, I salute your efforts to put out the flags.
