My daughter and SIL have settled into their apartment in Huntsville AL and are liking the area. We plan to go down this weekend and visit. Does anyone who lives in or knows the area have any recommendations on restaurants, sites to see, etc?
I've only been there once, but as someone already said, The space and rocket center is there. Each Sept and April the World Racking Horse Celebration in nearby Decauter/ Priceville is held if you like horses. My sister won Racking Horse Woman of the year a few times.
 
I am sitting on pins and needles for the report. ;)

God Bless Austin. Get and stay healthy.
I pigged out for dinner.

5 oz cold smoked salmson
whole cucumber sliced with pepper and horseradish sauce
20 cherry tomatoes
12 oz cooked cabbage
8 oz plain yogurt with small touch of maple syrup.

Thanks. Life is good.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 40°F and clear. Today's high projected around 72°. Chilly start, but gorgeous finish.

One week after ice storm, 300 customers remain without power. Crazy.

After first day of chemo, my voracious appetite remains intact -- so far. Huge reason was 10 mg steroids though port yesterday. Feeling great this morning. Today is another day. Must report to Texas Oncology clinic by 1 pm today for more chemo. Stay tuned.

I had a freaking blast in the TX Oncology parking garage yesterday morning before upstairs facility opened. For 20 minutes, wearing my +25 year-old BDU Gortex jacket, boonie hat and carrying walking stick, I circled parking garage singing Panzerlied or German Tank Crewmen's song in German.



I was 33 years old again, enjoying camaraderie and fellowship with German Bundeswehr Panzertruppen out at Grafenwöhr range complex. Tripped a few folks out who waited in their cars and SUVs for facility opening. Heh. So what the heck.

Loss to Arkansas at Rupp night before last still smarts. Ouch.

Gotta run and harass/pester couple folks up in Political thread before I start work. Y'all behave and have an awesome day.

That would have been funny to see. I would have liked to have seen the reactions of others in the garage. Police on speed dial on each cell phone.
 
Do any of you remember this:

I am an American Soldier. I am a warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values. I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself. I am an expert and I am a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat. I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier.

How about this one:

I am an Army civilian – a member of the Army team. I am dedicated to our Army, Soldiers, and civilians. I will always support the mission. I provide leadership, stability, and continuity during war and peace. I support and defend the Constitution of the United States and consider it an honor to serve our Nation and our Army. I live the Army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. I am an Army civilian.
 
Good Thursday Morning

Sunshine and 62° with a 12% chance of rain late this afternoon. The high will be 83°. The Gulf waters are starting to warm a little and by March we should see the last of any cold snap.

A little sore from a nice workout yesterday. These bones, these bones. But all is good. I trust all are well and your faith is strong. I see Tennessee blew one against Vandy last night. Low basketball IQ caused that. Don't ever pass up a dunk boys.

Take care,

You got this Austin. Positive thoughts and encouragement going your way. A lot of people are joining me in prayer.
 
I understand. Many people in America who come to Florida fly down to Orlando, go to Disney World and then fly back home. Everything they see is man made fantasy land.

Others fly to South Florida to the Miami and Ft Lauderdale area and all they experience is New York South and crowds of people wandering around. City people enjoy that.

The picture below is about 6 miles from my house and it is very wooded with no habitation.

Caladesi and Honeymoon Island are off the beaten path and you can lay back without the crowds and commercialism. No building is allowed on these islands. Florida has 1,350 miles of coast.

That looks beautiful. Much more peaceful looking than miles of condos and hotels.
 
Good morning from windy, gusts to over 40 mph, Smiths Grove. It is 65.0°F and going to top out at 64°. How do you like that?

I still can't talk about the last two basketball games. Folks Oscar got 1 free throw in the two games. Someone needs to explain to me how that is possible when he gets fouled on every damned possession. The SEC refs are crooks.
 
I really liked Red Skelton too Sir. I remember how he always ended his shows...

He was great. My family never missed a show. That was the Golden Age of Comedy and it will never return. Our society is too divided now and there is too much hate in America to ever have comedy everyone would enjoy. 75% of Americans probably couldn't relate to a Red Skelton. His act would go completely over their head.

If comedy had remained non political and not so filthy it would be a pleasure to watch but in today's world it is impossible. What responsible parent would turn on today's comedians in the family room with their children?
 
Yes Sir,

Pure FILTH is passed on as "comedy" now.

A complete travesty as America goes.

Bill Cosby cut me to the quick as I held him in such high regard for his "clean" comedy. Then to find out his "escapades"...

At least Richard Pryor was honest as a comedian (Still couldn't stomach his filth.) but DARN where it went from there...
