I woke up this morning in a cold RV. I had set the thermostat to 71 and the AC was running when I went to sleep last night. This morning It was 61 inside the RV and 48 outside. I didn't pack for cold weather.

And if you need to buy warmer clothing before you leave there, Broadway Center is north of where you are now...They had a great men's store at one time, the name of which escapes me......Ben

There is an Academy we pass too. I've been in need of a new Carhartt for a while. Today I will probably get one.

We are at/near Tyler, Texas. Looking to buy a small farm where I plan to run a few head of Longhorns. Just as a hobby and occasionally sell if they decide to over populate the farm.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke
I had the urge for longhorns many years ago. I went to the American Royal in Kansas City for the sole purpose of buying good breeding stock---and then when I got prices I decided chickens would be just fine
I used to spend a fair amount of time in Tyler but I never saw much of it. The company that I was working with in Tyler would pick me up in the morning at Allentown Pa. and fly me to the AP in Tyler and when I was done--fly me back. Between the speed and the route they were able to fly it was an easy trip.

Mike I just found out that Pounds Field operates a military museum in its original passenger terminal...Probably similar to the 1940 Air Terminal Museum at Hobby Airport...In addition to other displays, they have a Lockheed F-104...It might be worth a look while you're there......Ben

All righty then----Tree Top Airlines-----now that would have made me feel all warm and fuzzyan ex-military gooney bird operated by TTA (Tree Top Airlines)
As for my induction---I went by train to Philadelphia, I think it was my first train ride
That leads into another story
Try to imagine this picture. My Mennonite Mother took me to the station---where we were joined by a young lady I was seeing at the time---who happened to be going to summer school at the Catholic High School--and she was wearing her uniform.
I know my Mother was equally (and deeply) troubled by her son going into the military and at the same time kissing a CATHOLIC girl goodbye
