Veteran's Day

Most years I write a Veteran's Day blog I've said thanks a million times. I support the troops, sailors, military men and woman. I don't always support the politicians and diplomats who put them in harms way. I respect them and thank these brave men and woman. Some of these folks are my friends, fraternity brothers, so my caring goes even deeper.This time I wanted to show some clips and show why I am thankful for Veterans.This is why they deserve are respect.

Here is the Coast Guard performing a recent rescue..No matter politics you have to respect these folks putting themselves in risks to rescue people...

The Sandy Experience

Well the blunt of Sandy has passed. Thankfully no damage here and the power stayed on except for some few minutes of flickering. We made out much better with this storm than we did with last October's snowfall or this summer's Derecho. Any way we are fortunate both the Shenandoah Rivers and Potomac were on the rise today, we live on a big hill. A lot of people in the area lost power we were spared this time. What a year for storms this year I have been through Sandy, Derecho and a Tropical Storm. Some places just a couple hours west of me in the higher elevations got a lot of snow.

Here is a video of the snow in the southern part of West Virginia...

Here is some local coverage from the Hagerstown NBC station...

Safe and sound here. The kids got a couple of days off from school and a two hour delay tomorrow.
