Well, you’ve got some broad winged birds that have dove-like plumage.

From Buffs in Minot on alert

To C-17s at Ramstein ready to go

At both these bases the snow can fall fast and thick. I hope the entire Soldiers’ Angels Germany team are keeping warm and safe! The Ramstein photo was taken last Friday, but I am sure it is still mighty cold over there …

I remember one long swing shift I began to drive home to my apartment in Heusenstamm. The snow was falling thick, and we already had 6-9 inches of pack, and 3 more inches had fallen in an hour. My Triumph Spitfire wasn’t handling all that well - I mean, it didn’t weigh that much people!

I approached a stoplight where I needed to turn left to head home. I’ve driven in snow, but, something just didn’t feel right. Then, WHOOP, two 360s in the middle of the intersection! Good thing it was 01:30 and there were no other idiots driving from Rhein Main to Heusenstamm … just one. ME!

Memories …
