is the navy base still operating there?

Yes it is.  It seems they reduced their size and gave up a little bit of their property to accommodate cruise ships, a new hotel, and an upscale gated community (Truman Annex) some years ago.

 

I do still see them practicing touch and goes at Boca Chica.

 

And of course got to keep a close eye and ear on Cuba.

We had a very nice vacation and thankfully the weather was not too bad.

A small rant though about men these days. I know of course not all men, but there seems to be a generation of men that are very aggressive and entitled these days. We had gone to my husband's favorite pub while in town, it was a nice night so it was packed and mainly filled with couples. Seating is always first come first serve, so we grabbed one of the remaining tables outside. My husband went back inside to place an order at the bar and chat to a friend, while I waited outside holding our table and waiting for the server. A young man with his much older, inappropriately dressed for this location, and very drunk date??? stumbles onto the sidewalk and begin having an argument with each other. She approaches another man seated at a table waiting for his date to arrive and when not given a response she wants then storms off into the bar. Her 'date' now sets his eyes on me, and begins to aggressively demand that he sit at my table because he has "some life **** to sort out", asks if I'm actually going to eat something, if I'm with someone. He's getting more angry every time I tell him that yes I'm waiting for a server and no he cannot sit with me. He starts pacing in front of me, gripping my husband's empty chair and again wants to know if I'm waiting for someone. I tell him in a firm tone that I am waiting for my husband. This immediately provokes him to start shouting that he's not interested in me anyway and several other expletives. I decide to start ignoring him because such children aren't worth my time, and I start texting my husband to hurry. Other patrons are now looking immediately concerned and thankfully my husband had arrived back at the table, which quickly scared him off. The 'date' got tossed out of the pub and they stumbled away arguing down the street.

 

I am still so bewildered what it was all about, but sure made me uncomfortable!

Yesterday we flew to Colorado for the wedding of the daughter of my wife’s best friend, and a girl that worked for me while she was in school.   We are in the Boulder area but staying at a small lodge in a very small town way up in the mountains.  8236 feet elevation which is a big change for us from the couple of feet above sea level.  It’s a quirky artistic tourist town and our lodge is right on Boulder creek.  Only took us several minutes to walk the entire town.  Noticed that there were mountain bikes for rent.  Asked my wife if she wanted to try mountain biking…LOL.  She said only if she could get a mountain bike with training wheels.  @TBoneTX, I think this proves she is a true Rubia.
