9/11/2001 - Grand Canyon.
The black out a few years ago - Glacier National Park.
When the kids were little, we got the last flight out of ISLIP before the area was dumped with a blizzard.
Hurricane Bob - Los Alamos.
There are other lesser incidents, so it may well be my influence. But then I've never denied having connections with Mr. S.
You really only need three things: WD-40, Duct Tape, and a pointy stick. If it's supposed to move and doesn't, use the WD-40. If it moves and isn't supposed to, use the Duct Tape. If you want it to move and it doesn't want to, use the pointy stick. The rest of life is easy.

Wow. You also might look at it as some Higher Power watching over you.

Poor guy was beet red from hurrying in the heat and 110% humidity.I also happen to have photos of a rather wet FPW. When he was in Madison last November he was kind enough to join us for dinner and I walked him around downtown for a few blocks in the pouring rain! He was a very good sport about it!

Funnily (nod to Lisa), I discovered a couple days later that I had had an umbrella and (rain)coat in my trunk. Who'd'a known?!?!
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Reading is freedom.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
