Thursday 8 February Day 21




Good weather continues.  After WVB & Hot tub we are back to RV for lunch and then off to Emilio’s for the Thursday Happy Hour get together from 3 to around 4:30ish.  With Judy away, (she left early on Tues. & returns late next Tues.), we picked up Larry & he went with us to Emilio’s.  After we left we stopped at Mega Liquor for Sheila to get a cpl btls of something. She got a 750 ml btl of rum for USD $7.00 and a btl of Bacardi Mango flavoured rum for USD $10.00. Then home to rest before checking out the free dance tonight, (donations to the Hemet PD police dog purchase charity fund).  Dance was to CD’s and was reasonable music, I allowed Sheila to dance a few.  It started at 6:30. We were there about an hour then left to make the 8:15 movie “12 Strong” as today is cheap movie day. Prices have gone up a fair bit, what used to be around $4 a few years ago is now $7.20 for seniors, which puts it on par with home when you take exchange into account.  “12 Strong” is the story of a group of American soldiers who were sent to Afghanistan in 2001 to form an alliance with an Afghani warlord to force the Taliban out of their stronghold in Afghanistan. They were an advance group to make contact with Afghanistan tribal war lords that were opposed to the Taliban & Al-Quada and prepare the way for the larger force to arrive later.   Anyway it was a great movie and at the end they showed a picture of the actual Green Beret team that did it, without losing a single man, (one man was severely wounded but he survived).  Home by 10:30 or so – bed time.
