They are out there.
This is a photo of the 119th Fighter Interceptor Group called the "Happy Hooligans" from Fargo North Dakota who flew CAP over the Pentagon on September 11...they were scrambled out of Langley Air Base in VA. The planes are F-16's.
Far Guy was part of the 119th for many years.
Thank you to Veterans and to their families who support them daily.

One less thing on my project list...all the wood carved Christmas ornaments have been wrapped...I am a tad fussy with them and wrap them in wax paper first then in tissue paper. I gathered all the Christmas boxes and small bags that I had on hand.
I still need mailers and a few boxes.
We had a quiet day on Monday. We sat outside in the sunshine for a bit. Then we watched Grey's Anatomy and I watched Far Guy sleep. He is very tired.
What's Cooking? Baked Chicken and green beans with bacon and vinegar.
Minnesota Weather: Sunny High 58F or 14C Low 31F or -1C
The deer ate all but two of the apples we put in the bird bath.

The light in the kitchen stopped working...after 27 some years it just gave up. It wasn't the brightest anyway.
I ordered a light from Walmart and it was delivered. Far Guy installed it one day when I ran some errands. I asked him if he shut off the circuit??? He didn't he just shut the switch off. Why did I ask?
One day at noon we were working in the garage...he was hungry and went into the house all by himself to make lunch. He put English Muffins in the toaster...one got stuck and began to burn. He unplugged something (the coffee maker) and began to pry the burning muffin out of the toaster with a knife. When he went to dump the crumbs into the garbage he realized that he had unplugged the coffee maker instead of the toaster.
His Guardian Angel was working overtime. Throughout his life she has been really busy...saving him from certain death many times.
I am positive that she has been keeping him safe until of course his numbered days are up. After all God is in charge.
That is a new one for Far Guy. He was seen in the local ER and after only a short wait was seen by a very kind knowledgeable Doctor.
After a CT scan....
He has a Saddle Pulmonary Embolism that covers his pulmonary artery at the fork where the arteries split right and left into his lungs. He was given Eliquis which will eventually dissolve the clot/clots. It all takes time and will not happen overnight. In the meantime I have both eyes on him.
Far Guy made the decision to come home, he could have stayed in the hospital.
The Doctor said that if we had not come into the ER that the clot would have killed him.
One day at a time.
I believe Far Guy had an "event" on Thursday morning as he was putting on his socks he made a strange thudding noise and said "What was that?" At that time his oxygen sats went into the 60's. As you all know we waited in the ER for four hours that same day without being seen.
Far Guy had pulmonary emboli before that were treated with Coumadin....probably about ten years ago.

We had a nice frost.
You can also see how that Popple spit its leaves all over the lawn:(
My sister sent a photo of the frosty morning at her place. She is retired now and starting her first week as a retired person.
