h/t Buck Cause I don't have anything worthwhile to talk about.
A storm is blowing in and the temperature is dropping like a rock. It was 58' when I got up this morning, and has been steady on the decline ever since. It'll be in the upper 20's by morning, or so they say. We're holing up tonight, and wishing we didn't have to go anywhere tomorrow!

It was in the mid-20's today and I was rejoicing in the warmth. Just so you know. ;) Hope you guys stay warm!
Cool meme -- I'll have to check mine out!
Ahh... '64. I finished tech training and was off to my first active-duty assignment. Pretty good year, that was.
Sus, it was mighty cold this morning. I didn't want to get out of my warm bed! But then, I seldom do.
Buck, you had a son born around then, too, didn't you?
