The stars still have to align.... but I am one huge step closer at midnight tonight!!! today is my last day working for the Metropolitan police department after 27.2 years, and let me tell ya, I'm toast.

I will miss many good officers that work hard and try to help people and prevent crime, but I will not miss a lot of bad city managers any more than the criminals on the street!!!

hope all are well here! thanks so much for everybody's help in ref to my move to Montana coming this summer! I can't wait, I can see that light! Peace always, and everybody be safe! rw

Oh Sharon...... I cant wait to get to Gods country.

My wife said, "lets stay here till the kids graduate from high school". I said, "why? we are missing an opportunity for them to be from a great place and have friends in a great state!".

She has already started packing, she is getting more excited each and every day! Told me tonight, we need to put the house on the market in March!!!! LOLOLOL

Won't be long now!

Ratbrain..... how long does it take to retrain your brain?? wink

Good for you. I hope you wear out a store full of fishing poles and make trap supply dealers very happy.
