Badged

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 75 degrees, high 95 degrees, mostly clear skies

The weather forecast for the next few days shows the temperatures moderating a little. As in the high being about 95 degrees versus 97 degrees, which we have been seeing on a daily basis. Granted, a couple degrees cooler is not much, but we'll take what we can get. After all, this is the gulf coast of Texas, where the only seasons are summer and not quite summer. I can remember years when we were seeing 90 degrees in December. Many times I wore short pants on Christmas Day. Any cooling is welcomed.

My background check at work went faster than expected, and I received my security clearance approval today. That's at least a week faster than I expected, and it means I do not have to be escorted. Freedom! Actually, being escorted was not bad. My escorts were very understanding, because we all go through that sooner or later in this business we're in.

Even though I did not have my security clearance until today, I spent my time getting to know all the people involved and what is going on with the project
to date. It looks like there has been some good work done so far, and I don't have any doubts about us having a successful project. The people involved are first rate, and the facility has a culture of teamwork and ownership which has been developed over a period of about 15 years.

I talked to Carolyn tonight, and she said that they are continuing to get rain in Tuscaloosa. It's too bad we can't ship some of that rain down here. We talked a little about when I will go pick her up, but it's still too early to make that decision. As long as I can do it before the long hours begin, I will be happy. Hmmm, I wonder if tomorrow would work?

Good night, Dear.

More later, be safe.
