Happy New Year..

The sun has set and the vestiges of 2019's memories are whispering in the trees.
The thermometer said 53 in NOVA but the breezes said cooler weather was upon us.
I had a couple of fingers of a great whisky and a good smoke on the porch.
The instruction I received with the glass said the bullet was one serving.
I think they miss-spoke?


May 2020 be good for you and your clan.

Another year, another birthday, and another decade gone...

Happy New Year to all my military brothers and sisters out there. And for those deployed this season may you all come back home soon and unharmed.

Great gesture. (Besides, life's simple pleasures continued drives the OPFOR nuts.)

And to all of you downrange, wherever that is... Salud! and may a peaceful night be with you.

Geez, JJ, it's warmer where you are than here on the Southern Border!

Happy New Year (not decade ODNT, we count from 1 to 10 ).

I disagree...when you are born you are living your first year and it ends with 1.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all from balmy Iowa, 52 degrees. We will soon pay for this heat wave.

I turn 70 this year. I'm pushing the start of my 7th decade back as long as I can.

Happy New Year!
