I caught some of Shep this morning and could only remember when Gloria hit the east coast, particularly the DelMarVa Penninsula.

I had called the local radio station, where I used to work, volunteering to help out with information as an extra set of eyes and ears. To this day I will not forget the refusal I got "we don't need amateurs." I realize that 4 years of on air coverage of stuff on the penninsula did not make an icon - but the little b!tch who didn't want amatuers had been at the radio station less than 2 months.

When I spoke with the News Director ( aformer colleague) several days later he questioned why I hadn't called him - I related the above. She was gone with inside of a week.

LOL .. hope she never made that kind of mistake again .. otherwise she's pretty dumb

See this is why I like Pennsylvania .. we get a little of everything but not to much

I have one sister that lives in AZ and she always tells me about the HUGE bugs out that way .. I don't do bugs .. LOL

Besides I don't do heat very well either

Once she (my sister) tried to see 1f she could really fry an egg on her car .. it worked .. but it also destroyed the paint ..

And yes .. she is a blonde .. LOL

All last night and today the local TV and radio stations were asking viewers and listeners to call with information from their area. They kept saying, we can't be everywhere, we need all of you to be our eyes and ears.

Fortunately, I had a good stockpile of batteries on hand and could listen to the radio today. I had been thinking about getting one of those solar powered radios for emergencies but it woldn't have worked today... no sunshine. LOL
