Reply #2: I see where NAS Atlanta is on the closure list [View All]

I was stationed there in the Mid-90's and we went through the BRAC process then. I get a very nostalgic-based pain the gut when I know one of my old duty stations is closing down. I was stationed in Philadelphia in the 80's and that base is no more. I've sent a many young Supply Corps Officer to Athens. A beautiful spot of geography if there ever was one. I guess I'm just a wee bit dense but I don't understand all this closing frenzy. I may have to visit NAS Atlanta before they lock up the gate for good. That shouldn't happen for a few years though.

I'm thinking of pulling up all my Impatiens and replacing them with Marigolds for the rest of the season. We won't (shouldn't) get a frost until Thanksgiving or later. Godawful hot here the past couple of weeks. We got a monster Sun Coleous on the Patio, its beautiful. I soak it every morning and its hanging in there in the intense heat.
