Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas, everyone. Be safe out there. (I'm saying it a day early 'cause I won't have time tomorrow.I'll be busy playing with my new Surface Pro. hehe)

I thought it was a spaceX launch?

Yeah...though from Facebook it seems a bunch of people had no idea that's what it was when they first saw it "Aliens are invading!!!" Type deal lol

Its cold in Htown

What’s a cold Texas winter? Bako is about 50-60 degrees tops during the day, and 30’s at night. We even gotta bring the mutt in and keep the dryer running so he’s warmed up against it.

And yeah yeah, I know us West Coasters don’t know what a “cold winter” is. This may exclude our friends in the PNW.

@VentMonkey that day time temp doesn't sound too bad. I didn't know it can get that cold down there?

And ditto to that. It was 26F° here in SoCo the other morning. Cold winters now include high wind and fire danger for the north bay hills. It's like deja Vu all over again.

It seems like once every winter we’ll get a week that is just bitter cold for the desert. Like overnight lows in the high teens/ low 20’s. I distinctly remember having ice on my windshield last year for a week straight.

All I've got to say in response to these winter posts is:

@VentMonkey , same as SoCal, but wetter. Tulare is a good analogue I reckon. We get foggy some.

Got schwifty with an epi drip and an EJ today

Look at you being all fancy. Just the multiple diabetics with BGL's <30 out here. Bad sugars.

Vandenberg AFB decides to test missiles at night and the whole Coachella valley freaks out. This ain't nothing new people...

I saw it while working out in Cambria California. What a sight!

It was. They just launch from Vandenberg AFB.

Ahhh, the girlfriend and I visited Cambria on our trip up to San Simeon. If I remember correctly one of the stations has a gym behind some plate glass windows.

Just picked up a Samsung Note8 after having an iPhone for the past few years. Trying to figure out how to work things again.

To you as well! (Tried to figure out what this came from...turns out it is something linguistic in nature)

I can't get a patient or two for anything while I'm doing my AEMT ride a longs. I bet tomorrow and Wednesday, while I'm working and getting paid I'll be swamped. Don't wish for anyone to get sick or hurt especially on Christmas, but I need a couple more patients.

Having read Doug Stanton’s novel when it first came out, I’m hoping “12 Strong” pays homage accordingly; it’s an excellent story. Ridley Scott did a decent job with Black Hawk Down, hopefully the accuracies are similar.

Is that about the SF team that brought Karzai out in Afghanistan?

To be completely honest, I’d have to go back and look that up. Nonetheless, it’s a fascinating true story.

These dudes went in with full badassery, and rode horses into battle alongside of Afghan warlords they (initially) hardly trusted. Their efforts were understated, and the book was excellent.
