Morning Legionnaires!
On Austin's theme of Christmas sweaters, I have 2 one pictured below. Will post another later.
Better view below: Sawnee should appreciate this one.
Good morning from the Gulf Coast
Pine Island is reporting 39° with lots of sunshine and a high of 59°, that is cool for us. But it will be a perfect day to take a day trip down to Lake Wales and a visit to Bok Tower. Bok Tower is a hidden gem and consists of a 250-acre garden and a 205-foot tall Singing Tower with its carillon bells, a beautiful walking trail and a visitor center. The tower is built on Iron Mountain, one of the highest points in Florida, 295 feet above sea level.
Bok Tower is a National Historic Landmark and was built be Edward Bok a very wealthy man from Philadelphia. He was editor of the Ladies Home Journal and his wife established the Curtis Institute of Music. Bok built the tower in her honor and is buried at the base. The Singing Tower is made of pink and gray Etowah marble mined in Tate, Georgia. It also has tabby which is a concrete type mixture of coquina shells. Inside the tower is a 60 bell carillon which plays through out the day. Special Christmas music will be presented at 1:00 and 3:00 PM.
It makes for a nice day trip and is a beautiful spot on earth.

I really have no clue; I haven't followed or kept up with any of that. I'm assuming that UT is having a "bad" season in football?
That is what our cousin in Cleveland says. He is a big UT fan and is not very happy. Other than that it is life as usual.
Dang it Bert, that package stayed in Evansville for two days!!!!! I could have walked to Smith's Grove by now!!!! It says it is in route, hopefully today!!!
As promised (Because I roll like that):
An old Army buddy of mine (CW4 retired) and boss for a while after the Army (Got me started with military contractor and then Civil Service) just lost his wife and mother-in-law to "Covid-19". His MIL moved in last year and was living with them after they built an extra room onto their house. MIL recently went out (not sure where) and came back apparently contracting the virus. All three tested positive but, MIL and his wife were both in poor health already have been hospitalized a few times over a year or so. Wife went to Hospital Sunday and died with MIL doing the same on Tuesday. He is doing good (72 years old) in relation to virus but is devastated from the losses. He worked with my wife for years on the contractor side and helped her get the job she is in. My wife's boss said he was not responding to anyone's text or calls from the contract and ask if I would contact him since we served together and got along. Not many got along with him because he was a straight shooter and did not coddle workers he supervised.
I contacted him last night in a text and offered my condolences and help if he needed it. He responded within minutes and thanked me and said he was having a tough time dealing with it and would let me know. My wife was a bit surprised he responded because he did not to anyone else. But, I said: "none of them were in the military and we spent a lot of time in Germany and Ft. Sill together before both retiring.

Good morning D-League.
My condolences to your friend, Warrior. What a tragedy. Stories like this make it all real: A family member goes out for a visit or whatever, and soon everyone has the virus. My older daughter knows a guy -- a student of hers at Kansas University actually -- who went to visit his parents, thinking he was fine. But he was carrying the virus, and they both caught it. Both passed away. That'd be a lot to carry in life.
Just back from a brisk walk in the freezing air. We're getting a little more snow right now, but then clear and warming through the weekend. Looks like no White Christmas.
Hope all is well with all of you.

My daughter was married at the Tate House. Beautiful outdoor wedding. Quite a place.
Morning D. Greetings from the shanty.

Bless you brother, only those who are, can understand why he'd answer you. Thanks for helping a fellow brother.
May God's comfort console those who seek it. It is a bitter loss to lose what you've had for so long. I have no words... other than to state God IS faithful....
Cold and white in Ohio. Haven't seen the sun for about three days.
Brief synopsis in reading the last couple days of posts....
I like Church's chicken. Good stuff.
Don't like gizzards....Lee's or otherwise.
Eggnog...not a fan, but will drink a little this time of year.
Grass is green....unless it turns brown.
With all the systemic racism in America, how did Charlie Pride ever sell a record?
Think that covers it. A good, safe, healthy day to all this Friday before Christmas.

Not much exciting ATC. Was in the bluegrass for a couple of weeks then in Fla for a few weeks.
Howdy catfaninsc. Long time no see.
Or having the room under the hood (without all the pollution stuff) to actually be able to work on it. That's assuming any kids today even know how to.
Had a '56 Chevy and you could literally sit in it while working on it if you wanted to.
Cold clear morning. It was 22°F at sunrise and now it is up to 27.0°. The frost was thick.
UNC tomorrow. I don't know what to expect. 1-5 would hurt.

Welcome back. Always great seeing you. Don't be a stranger.
I had a 56 too, title for it read assembled from junk!!!!! 4 speed and had cutoffs on. It sounded great when the caps were off except when the cops stopped me!!!
My little 56. Nothing could harm this ole Chevy. I had an oil change once and the boy left the oil cap off. I drove it about 5 miles before I realized what happened. Smoke started coming from under the hood and finally the oil light came on.
I drove it back to the service station and by the time I got there it had pumped all the oil out. We just filled it back up, put on the cap and kept on truckin'

Nope. They'll just charge more.
70 miles? Indeed.
Gotta love US Postal Service, especially this time of year. I wonder if @UK_fan_41102 received his package yet?
And get more cold air.
In Ashland, I sent a Christmas card to my neighbor, and it went to our post office, then to Charleston, WV, and back to Ashland, then out for delivery. Took 4 days for a card to go across the street. Next year, I'll just take it to her.
It's just regular eggnog, and one of the better ones you'll find in stores. I've never tried eggnog with alcohol.

Not yet. It has went from Indianapolis to Charleston, WVa to Memphis and now to Cincinnati. So it went by Cincinnati the first time, only to wind up there now. That's what you call efficient.

All kidding aside, a shot of bourbon is great in eggnog, if you like bourbon. And I may be the only person on the planet who mixes vodka with ice cream for a float. Or double float maybe.
I just got a package from Amazon that sat in Louisville's distribution center for 6 days. Frustrating as hell.
So sorry for your friend Warrior. Thankfully he has someone like you to talk to.
That's the best way to drink eggnog. Of course I'd only use the cheap bourbon. No way would I waste the good stuff on eggnog.
Howdy back Bert. I trust Sherry has been making you toe the line.
My wife is the one frustrated, since it's a Christmas gift for our daughter and it was ordered on Black Friday. At this point, it's become laughable, watching it go around in circles. I told my wife that before it's over, it will be back in Charleston. She wouldn't bet me on it.
Many have heard of the "Don't Mess With Texas" anti-litter ad campaign. 30 years ago, Texas Department of Transportation filmed an amazing commercial involving the Confederate Air Force. Below are production shots. B-17 flyover was breathtaking at ~20 feet altitude. Location was near Midland, TX.
Actual commercial
Flyby footage. Amazing for such a big bird.

Your package may be dizzy when it arrives, since it has gone around in a big circle.
