One winter were went something like 2 months without the temperature ever getting above freezing, and most of that time the highs were in the teens. New snow is pretty, but old snow is just nasty (especially along the side of streets). One night I was on my way home from working the late shift (shift ended at midnight) and my car ran out of gas at the end of the Offutt runway. About a mile from the closest building. That was not fun. and it was LONG, LONG before cell phones were invented.
So wow SS you are also from Omaha, Ne. Lived their all my life from 1 years old to 1995 when my hubby and I moved to Glendale, AZ.
I hate Omaha! BUT GO HUSKERS!!
Nope, I am a native Texan; great grandparents on 3 sides immigrated there in covered wagons; one pulled by horses, one by oxen and one by ? A different variation has them moving there by train; they were definitely the latest to arrive in Texas; either 1892 or 1895 (my grandfather was either 3 months or 3 years old), and he was 8 during the 1900 hurricane. No idea when my maternal grandmother's family immigrated to Texas, but they might have been there pre-independence (from Mexico). I grew up in Dallas, went to Baylor where I joined ROTC and received my commission as an Air Force Officer upon graduation (actually the day before). My first assignment out of tech school was at Offutt, in Bellevue, NE, a suburb of Omaha. From Omaha I moved to Germany, where I met my husband. After there I left Active Duty, coming to Arizona, his home state. I've been here since 1982.
