It's cleared off after 2 days of much-needed rain and I can see the almost-full moon.

"Remember this: the truly great leader overcomes all difficulties ... The lack of equipment, the lack of food, the lack of this or that are only excuses; the real leader displays this quality in his triumphs over adversity, however great it may be."
Gen. George C. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, to the first graduating class of the Army Officer Candidate School September 27, 1941

Remember the movie Twelve O'Clock High with Gregory Peck?
Frank McCarthy remembers it, too, from his early days in Hollywood. I didn't realize part had been filmed at Eglin.

I had just arrived home from volunteering at my daughter's elementary when I saw a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center towers. When Peter Jennings said a small plane hit the second tower, my 3-year-old son said, "That was a 737."
I will always remember.

Good ancient Blue Ridge morning!
It's 40F heading for a high of 85.

Make it a kind Monday.

This week, I hosted 330 First Class (senior) VMI cadets in the #MarshallFoundationLibrary, to learn a bit about Gen. George C. Marshall's examples of leadership.
It was a wonderful, if exhausting day!

As a fellow super-nerd, if Kari joined COSO, after losing my absolute mind - I'd consider my life's work complete and there would be nothing left to accomplish. ๐

This is KemoSabe, our first dog. The kids say he was toasted marshmallow color.
Our property has extensive road frontage. The entry for a rural neighborhood across the way Ts onto our road, and someone put up a Trump sign.
Technically it's on our property as the ROW is all gravel, but not near our driveway. I could take it down, but in the interest of neighborliness and as I am an election official I don't want to go there.
Instead, I have obtained every Democratic sign I can find. It can be an equal opportunity sign forest.
