Almost 40 years ago to the day

When I was in the Navy I was stationed at Patuxent River MD , for a little while

I volunteered to be one of those military guys in dress uniform you see lining the street along Pennsylvania Avenue during President Reagan's inauguration parade

but Maryland got hit with a large snow storm and cold temperatures the day before , and it was cold , it was like Iowa cold !!!!!..................lol

so all the outdoor activates for the inauguration were cancelled

I was a little bummed that I didn't get to be in a presidential inauguration , but I don't miss , missing out on standing outside in subzero temperatures wearing my dress blues either
