====================
Hi Hap,

-> -> OK, I'm not as familiar with AF Bases anyway.  More so with Army ones.

->  hn> Sorta Figured that! (grin)

-> Spent quite a bit of time on them over the last 25 1/2 years.  And it's
-> been quite an interesting assortment of them as well.

 hn> I spent my first 18 years on a lot of AF bases so I knew
 hn> them a lot better..and most of my school friends were
 hn> pretty much the same, so we knew lots of bases where
 hn> others had been stationed as well as the ones we had
 hn> lived on.

Pretty much normal but since BRAC,  a lot of installatons have been
closed down, including some of the old time names.  Lots of retirees
havee further to go to go to a PX & commissary now.

->  hn> Yeh, but you're still a mere slip of a lass!
->  hn> You kids today (lol)

-> You implying that you're an old geezer? (GD&R)

 hn> Heck no, I'm already a card carrying geezer!

As we aare getting there; Rachel turns 30 today. (G)


 hn> I lived and breathed it until my senior year of
 hn> highschool. And I love it still!

Most of the time I just follow the box scores and standings.  Steve
isn't into baseball (or most other sports).

->  hn> Having lots of fun with the grandson?

-> Yes, we are.  Today was a "red" day.  We went to Red Robin for lunch and
-> then up to the Red Rock area.  If you've not been, let me suggest it for
-> a photo trip.
 hn> ->
 hn> Been there more than a few times! Have you been to
 hn> Valley of Fire State Park? Lots of big time
 hn> movies have been filmed there. and it's
 hn> REALLY pretty ...and you're there at the
 hn> right time of year, it won't be 125 degrees
 hn> if you go!

It wasn't too bad Saturday but a front went thru Saturday night cooling
things down fast.  I should have grabbed some water tho.

-> I know,  I'm enjoying the lower humidities of the south west now. (G)
 hn> ->
 hn> The new arrival there yet? I'm sure you're
 hn> going to be a big help and much appreciated
 hn> when it happens...although you might not
 hn> find much time to visit here (grin)!

Tomorrow is the big day! Rachel & Robert are baking birthday (for her)
cupcakes right now.

-> "native" but it's not home for me any more.  No real regional dishes but
-> the one chicken bbq place in the area is fairly well know.  They cater a
-> lot of the bigger events like fireman's fund raisers.
 hn> ->
 hn> Yeppers, Small town America!

Very much so!
