Good “Tuesday!” Morning my Brothers and Sisters from the gradually enhanced autumn leaves of the Greater Boston Area... We are way behind as far as the fall foliage goes... I don't know if that is good or bad, but I am sure we will soon see...if the white stuff starts falling early... LOL!

What's with you ground pounders and early morning long walks? I much prefer the dawn patrol 3 ship that launched at 0645. These days my walks last as long as my dog and she's small.

Looks like we are thinking alike this morning Jack. I like early morning walks in the woods, looking for deer.

A wonderful theme today, Colonel. My wife and I have been walking daily for 20 years... I have had many major operations over the years to repair damage from spinal cord and gws damage and the walking keeps me going. It is difficult, painful and tiring but it brings a clarity to my thinking.... It gives me time to think, pray, and appreciate what God has given me.

I have not be to Conroe since 1984. We lived in Colorado then. We had friends in Conroe and travelled down there in January. It was a freakish cold spell with temperatures overnight dropping to the low teens. Lots of frozen pipes and dead chickens..... what a memory. Congratulations on the move!!
