No email Blog yesterday
 
For the record I was unable to post a blog yesterday. My plans were to post it when I got back from playing pool with the guys at noon. When I got home about noon the power was out with a scheduled outage for upgraded maintenance until about 5:00 PM. I could have cranked up my generator though, but not needing lights, I didn’t.

Gary,
 
God forbid that you should take that last flight anytime soon.  As for probably not returning to live in the States, I totally understand as does anyone who has spent an extended period of time in that part of the world.  I came very close to retiring to the Philippines (still wish I had).  My favorite place in the whole world, and I have seen a lot of this world, is San Miguel on Luzon.  If there is one place that I want to go back to, it is there.  I’ve told my son that when I die I want to be cremated and my ashes cast across the waters of the South China Sea out from San Miguel.  A very romantic thought but not very practical.  I’ll probably end up in a closet or attic somewhere.  I still have many friends who retired around Subic and Angles City (Clark AB).   Dunseith should name a street or something after you.  Jeez, what you have done for that community is incredable.
