Hey Ruth!
Welcome home! (grin)

They are seldom intimidated by a gun...they
really don't believe you'll ever use it....a sword?
They really aren't that sure!(grin)

-> ->  hn> I just enjoyed the scenery there!
-> 
-> -> That's the difference between visiting and living in an area.  Of
-> -> course we enjoyed the scenery as well.  I'm enjoying it out here,

-> 
->  hn> I enjoy the scenery here too, I like Arizona's scenery as
->  hn> a contrast to what I am used to. Bisbee's is quite
->  hn> interesting on it's own merits.
-> 
-> The northwest is an area of the country I've not yet visited but would
-> like to.  I want to visit the Pike Place Market; I've heard & seen
-> enough about it.
->
We likes it(grin)! There's lots to see and do, and 
we have nice temperate summers (mostly), and 
mild albeit wet winters. Pike place is great, and 
right next to it is Sur la Table...a place I could 
go broke in almost as fast as in a camera shop!!
 
-> -> -> I'll take something for lunch (have breakfast before leaving the 
house)
-> 
-> ->  hn> we usually take something like laughing cow

-> I got some non fridge type stuff & will get a couple of string cheeses
-> from Rachel before leaving.  I got stuff that I'll take  some of, but
-> leave the rest for Rachel to use for Robert's school lunches for the
-> most part--dry fruit, some Pepperridge Farm cookies, etc.
->
YUm!
 
-> ->  hn> Fort Sill Ok and picked up a plane load of army guys
-> ->  hn> all in full combat gear and packs...I got off the plane
-> ->  hn> in Charleston, but they flew on to Germany for an
-> ->  hn> exercise! That was in a big ol starlifter (C-141)
-> 
-> -> That must have been interesting.  Wonder if it was a REFORGER 
exercise.
-> 
->  hn> Dunno what REFORGER is, but they were on
->  hn> a quick response training exercise. This was in
->  hn> the early 1970 when the Soviet Union was still
->  hn> the "Big Boy" opponent.
-> 
-> REturn of FORces to GERmany--sort of if the US had to go to war again on
-> German territory against the Soviet bloc.  Basically it became
-> unneccessary after 1991 but was either annual or bi-annual, usually in
-> the Septeber/October time frame.
->
Then my guess would be that it WAS a 
ReForGER exercise, they were headed
non stop to the Fulda Gap.
chat with you soon!
