Good 24ยบ morning. Not complaining....
after seeing what is happening across the mid-west!!!
Holy cow, it's cold!!!
Here is a picture of my friend's car...
George and Connie live in New Mexico...
Yesterday was the LE/Fire luncheon. Had a great time!
We have two more LASD joining us. Steve worked SEB
and knows my old high school pal, Gary Rovarino, aka
"Duke". Gary and I never dated, but held hands in Am. Lit
class! So, there were 7 of us surrounded by mostly retired
LAPD... we're gaining though!!
Thanks to Joe I learned a new French word.... (now now now... don't even go there....) "pamplemousse". It's certainly nothing sexy... it means "grapefruit" !! Thanks Joe, just never know when that will come in handy!
