Celebrate our differences. I have never met a person I did not learn something from and always try to find something I can use. When I started looking at encounters in this light things got much easier for me. Great Friday thought Col and ride safe brother.

Will do SPC Margaret Higgins. Don’t be sorry for me, my life is great! I wake up every day knowing that I’ve got a great day ahead. Besides, I’m not really smart enough to figure out I’ve got it bad anyway! LOL.
Love you too young lady.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
SP5 Mark Kuzinski - 98 degrees most of the way from Fort Hood, TX back to Amarillo, TX until I got hit by Thunderstorms for the last 106 miles (temps dropped and so did the rain.). Great quote by the way Mark - thanks!

This morning Here in Massachusetts We had very heavy rain in a short period of time and the temp dropped to around 75 but the humidity level was high. This follows a number of days with temperatures in the low 90s

COL as always great quote/words of wisdom.
I have no idea how many times I have seen the guy that was labeled as different or a little different easily come up with the answer to a problem that had the majority stumped. Being different is not a bad thing, why not? I like it, lets roll.

LTC Jeff Shearer Roger that - let's roll - I like different and those who are different lead from the front and all different directions Jeff. Have a great Friday. It's a little warm today down here at Fort Hood, TX. Once the Change of Command is over, I'm going to push it back up Amarillo, TX for the night, so I can make it home Saturday evening. I've got important business Sunday evening, right?

SFC Dagmar Riley
COL Mikel J. Burroughs , it’s actually cooler now since we’ve had that rain a few days ago which cooled it down quite a bit. This is just the beginning of the heat
