By the way...I want to thank everyone who's visited the blog so far. And congratulations for staying so civil. Good job everybody. Keep it up.

memorial day

Great Memorial Day celebrations in Coweta County. Hope things were just as good wherever you live. Newnan service honoring Eddie Couch of Senoia—who died in Vietnam in December, 1968— was inspiring. The Senoia celebration was just plain fun. Great parade, great crowds, good street vendors, dogs in sunglasses and lots of smiles, even from folks you don't know. This was small town America at its finest. If you haven't seen "Little America" at work and play, take a day off and visit some of the small towns in Coweta County. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Next big holiday...July 4th. Until then, pray for a tropical storm to extinguish the south Georgia wildfires. The smoke was bad as far away as Anniston, Alabama this weekend. Imagine how it must be down near Waycross, Folkston and Fargo. Those folks need a break.

global winter?

This just in from the Global Warming Weather desk. Weather observers at Pike's Peak, Co. just announced the summit has had its snowiest spring in 10 years. From the local paper:

"This is the snowiest spring on Pikes Peak in more than a decade. Barr Camp recorded 231 inches of snow this winter. (It only saw 50 inches in 2006.)

memorial day weekend

Memorial Day weekend is here. It's a time to celebrate veterans who died in the line of duty. Might not be a bad time to give a hug, a call or a kind word to a living vet, too. They deserve it.
If you're traveling, please drive safely. And let me know the highest gas price you come across on the road.

nancy pelosi goes global

Madame Speaker Nancy Peolsi just announced she and several of her cronies are flying to Greenland to watch a glacier melt. This will help her understand global warming. Sure. Like watching ice cubes melt in hot tea helps you understand it. Then, Pelosi and pals will dash off to Europe on Pelosi's tax-funded jet to talk about how to stop CO2 emissions. Guess she didn't get the memo about air planes spewing death from the skies. While she's in Greenland maybe she can find out how the place got its name. Hint: Not because of its ice cap.
