Nope, just that one flyover.
As a matter of fact, she is the only blonde in the family. LOL
She's very bright, actually. I think the beer consumption at the Super Bowl party played a big role. We all still crack up at that story. She was dead serious at the time.
What does this mean???
It looks like New York it to be hit first followed by Washington and Los Angeles 11 hours later.
but what does ...east of, west of obligue...mean? Could it be a reference to the eclipse?
MORE likely: East Coast, Left coast and flyover country ...
Ha!
Rewind and replay your copy of "Red Dawn"!
Red Dawn shows the frontline Gureilla war tactics that it takes to win wars. The movie illustrates the power of surprise, dedication, and member loyalty within a group. No tyrant or standing army can ever match such a combination. Originally the movie was to be known as Ten Soldiers as the movie entails the fighting spirit of ten citizen soldiers.. Red Dawn is a movie of catch phrases, and quotes that have left a legacy for the minds of the free. The movie left one quote that burns into ones conciousness, "We're all going to die, die standing up." This is the motto of the free. Rather in life or in death, freedom exists because of the selfless risk, attention, and constant enlightenment pursuits that drive the minds of those whom truly serve as the guardians of freedom.The guardians of freedom it seems seldom enjoy the freedoms for which they fight, or seek to enlighten their fellow man about. This is true in the movie as well as in life. In the movie all but two of the original child soldiers dies. Those who know freedom best either die for its restoration, or live life dedicated to its continual preservation.
NOTHING but bluster from the impotent ...
>>That's a good thought there.
They might as well say "we're taking out the interstate highway system" -
- the so-called 'grid' is that diverse, that is to say it *is* no one 'thing' - it's a bunch of 'electric roads' (just about like the system of US Highways and Interstates is) so there is no one 'grid' to take out .. the grid is like a Goliath, though; he has to catch one hell of a cold and then he can start to have problems (like wide-ranging ice storms, hurricanes, etc) ...
