Good evening, Mac...**HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Does spring/summer traffic get worse?

Smoke covered city here. Wind is supposed to become westerly and blow it out later. We will see.

I did indeed Sally Forth this morning, as is my wont! I crashed through the Sally Port at 0550 during a violent thunderstorm - my kind of weather! A smooth commute notwithstanding the high water.

Fortunately, the pollen count is low after the Deluge of the last 24 hours.

A (slightly) short day tomorrow - I was able to front-load this week and will break loose at 1530.

God Bless our Fallen - that's what this weekend is about for me!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
