Back from a short visit with youngest son, the medic, and his family. Good time - needed it.
While there, was able to see two grandkids in the Elementary School CHRISTMAS show. Not a Winter Festival or other such nonsense; Christmas. Non religious, Santa and reindeer, singing, and so forth. No different from millions that have taken place over the years. Lots of fun.
One thing I did notice was someone discretely stationed at every entrance. This is a closed post - sort of an ultimate gated community. Guards at the entrance with a M4 or shotgun in condition Amber. Still, no chances being taken. My son says this is normal; nothing new.
OPSEC is a reflex with my son. He is doing an EMT job now but is still present during operations should there be injuries. He did make a point there were no aliens or other such nonsense there; just military "stuff".
Not giving away any secrets here; this is Dugway Proving Grounds. Or, as they like to joke, Area 52.
There are some benefits to winter travel.
Weather wasn't a big problem. No matter, travel I-80 Cheyenne to Salt Lake in the winter and there will almost always be a, "Here, hold my beer" moment.

Being retired and my grandkids living in other states makes it seem as if the wife and I live in a disease/germ free bubble.
Unfortunately, that makes it all the more easier for our precious grandkids to share the germ of the season that's roaming around the schools and or daycare centers they frequent.......as we ready for our trip to Georgia for Christmas, I'm loading up on any self defense system/medication to ease the pain of the next disease we will be recovering from once we get home!
BUT, we LOVE our grandchildren.......
Glad you got some quality time with the family!
@ Scotty. So far no sickness.
@ NFO> Good to see my son putting Afgan in perspective. Looks years younger than he did coming home from deployment.
Grandkids always a hoot! Spoil them, then leave them.
And then there was the quality time you had with your FORMER (Heavy on the former) wife. You do live large!!! Ha, Ha!!!

@ Sisty. You have outdone yourself with snark. Now, bite me.
Enjoyed your visit immensely! Always good to have another adult around to talk to. Thank you for taking your passenger to SLC for us! Just think of it as payback for all the ruckus you stirred up with the kids!! Better than dropping them all at your doorstep!!! LUVS!!
@ FDIL. Thanks for having me.

Well.....made it to Georgia today and walk in the door at daughters and guess what....grandaughter is sick with a low grade fever. I'm in brace mode!!
@ Scotty. Hope you don't catch anything! Enjoy the kiddies.
