Morning. Surprise! I'm off work. Have to drive 5 1/2 hours to Flagstaff up to bring my daughter home from NAU for the summer tomorrow after she clears the dorm inspection.

Morning Star...sorry to hear about your boy taking a tumble. Hope he's ok now.

We tend to scuff ourselves up pretty good at that age.

[beachn4fun]

Cheated a wee bit, she says. HuH! What an understatement......

[beachn4fun]

No, no.... you've got to try to see as much as possible for you're off to somewhere else!

The museums are a must see in DC.

If you've never been to Gettysburg, PA., I suggest that as a must see before you leave. Do it while the weather is not too hot as there's a lot of walking. And, it's only a few hours away from here.

Soldier, just back from Iraq, helps out at Georgia crash site

Stars and Stripes European edition, Thursday, May 11, 2006

Thirteen hours after returning from Iraq, a Georgia National Guard soldier helped rescue a man whose truck veered off the Forest River Bridge and landed in the marsh, according to a report in Wednesday’s Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

Sgt. Shawn Dantzler and his family were on their way to the mall Monday afternoon when a Ford F-150 pickup started to swerve in front of them on Highway 204.

“I thought he was going to sideswipe us,” the 48th Brigade guardsman told the paper. “Then I saw him go off the road, and I feared he was going into the creek.”

Gary Farrand, 67, was heading east when he became ill and lost control of his truck, Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wilson told the Chronicle. Farrand’s truck clipped the guardrail, sped down an embankment, bulldozed a fence and landed in the marsh — just feet from Forest River, witnesses were reported as saying.

Dantzler jumped out of his Jeep and ran down the embankment, while his 17-year-old brother, Kyle, called 911.

“I don’t know if it’s an adrenaline rush or what. My main thing was to make sure he was OK,” Dantzler told the paper.

The Chronicle wrote that Dantzler asked Farrand about his injuries and talked to him about family to keep him focused and awake, he said.

Farrand was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where he was listed in good condition Monday night, hospital spokeswoman Betsy Yates told the paper.

Not quite..... she starts work on Monday for the City for a Summer 33hr/week job. Why 33 hours because that way under Arizona Law you're part-time so no bennies need be provided.

hope that you didn't miss my post about the new controversial film

I had missed it! Thank you for thinking of me even though it was after the fact!   : )   It was fabulous to wake up to this morning! Neat site, too.

I am not a mathematician or scientist, yet I found CHAOS to be a fascinating a impressively well-written explanation of the physics of Chaos, fractals and Mandelbrot sets.

Having loaned out the book and wanting to read it again, I searched Amazon for it and found some interesting looking newer books that have taken this science and veered it toward religion.

I'm fascinated by this, but have no time to read about it now or in the foreseeable future. I have my own sort of math/spiritual theory and would like to put much aside to read about theirs, but unfortunately, it's going to have to wait.

Keep an eye on the temps, Kathy, Alaska & Boston may stick rather close today, another gray and drizzly one for us.

Hey, how about that grizzly/polar cross they found up there, eh?

Good *yawn* morning/afternoon/evening Troops & Canteeners. Looks like we are supposed to hit temps of 101 today. Getting ready for work here but I'll be back to catch up in a bit. Hope you are all having a super day!
