Well it's unseasonably warm here (40 last night at 22:00), so took her out for one of the last rides of the year (supposed to drop to the teens by next Sunday, and the seat pans are due in to Russell by 1/20). Seoul has a huge light display downtown, so the crowds were massive. Total travel time was about 90 minutes, distance about 5 miles. Sights were great, but it's tough in that kind of traffic, especially with pillion. I'll post up a few pics in a day or so...
Christmas day today, and I will be feeding about 4000 or so Soldier's, Sailor's, Airmen, Marine's and civilians and their families. It used to be unusual to run across one of them who had been to the desert. Now it's pretty normal to hear stories of 3 and 4 rotations though that hell that's been created.
As hard as my team works during the holiday's it tough not to get emotional when you see these guys and gals spending a few moments with their loved ones. These days most spend more time apart than together.
A good friend operates the family temporary quarters at the Walter Reed Medical Center in DC. IF you have time, are near by and have an inkling, drop by today, and say thanks to those who may not have families able to visit, as well as the staff who are doing an unbelievable job with our service members who have come back and survived unimaginable injuries.
Sorry about the ramble, enjoy your holiday! If you are somewhere that has fairly dry/safe roads, you need to get out and ride that thing today and thank whatever God you believe in for the folks working around the world that makes our way of life possible. Merry Christmas!
