My daughter just got to Camp Pendleton a few weeks ago from Camp Lejeune. The first thing she did was send me a photo of palm trees & blue sky, with the caption, "I'm so happy!" We'll be visiting her in SoCal, surely top down in the XF once it's back home from the body shop.

Pretty well socked in by fog today here in northern CA. Driving a fog-colored Nissan Sentra rent-a-car. It sips gas, goes 80 pretty easily (was reading the tachometer & wondered why 40 seemed kind of fast), but it's not my rocket in any way, shape or form.

For those of you in the new land of ice & snow, I'm so sorry.
