dude that had to be a microburst! I was in the guardshack which is basically all glass and we all went to the back to the restroom the wind was so bad. Thought the glass was going to break!!
I think the temp has also dropped 30 degrees or so. I can see my breath outside now. And to make matters worse it looks like another round is coming our way.
I just missed the first round. Got hit by the second in Berea and Baja-styled it into a bank drive-thru to get out of the hail. Looks like only rain in TR.
I realized 20 mins ago that I will have enough room to put a rock garden in my back yard. Now to find some free big rocks.
Dang - it gets quiet while everyone is not at work.

Got the full brunt of it in moonville.
Actually where I was raised(east tennessee) if you went in any resturant and ate with any of the local families you were eating with native americans. And I am almost 50% Cherokee myself. We as a people have blended in but when my grandfather was still alive we did not know he was full blooded until he died and we found his personal papers. He passed for white all his adult life. I do understand the racial history and have some family history but we have made wonderful strides toward correcting the legal system but the personal bias is still evident in many area's.
In addition I agree with many here that we should all help oneanother health care etc. but I do no agree that any government body will ever administrate something as varied as health care in a fair fashion. The presidents wife when asked by a little girl about the step up program "Why is the government making people do this? Ms. Obama tried to skirt the issue. She said they were not being made to do it they were just being regulated to do it. Same thing just spun in different words.
I still however feel this is the greatest system in the world, I am just afraid that apathy has a hold of the masses and the choices are out of our hands. Sad really.
Hey Rick or any other technologically advanced person...what do you know about the Sony Internet tv box....has a blue ray and you can stream netflix and the Internet....but I heard some sites have blocked being pulled up by the box
I haven't read much about a Sony box. I thought their box was really Google TV but branded Sony or something like that. Their blu-ray players have some internet apps (aka, Roku-like channels pre-programmed) including Netflix. Do you have a link to a specific product?
Yeah it is runs google tv...I don't have a specific link but I googled Sony Internet tv box and it showed up. I'm curious if sites have blocked themselves from being pulled up on the box because it is a sony/google product... I didn't think sites had the ability to block what kind of device they were pulled up on but apparently according to the "wiz" kid at best buy a lot of sites can't be viewed on the machine.
Yeah, sites can block being viewed on internet TV boxes. It's basically the same idea as viewing a webpage on your smartphone. Most websites can detect that you are on a phone and will therefore redirect you to the mobile version of their site instead of the full blown site.

Got invited to a farm in Hemingway SC for some BBQ music and camping. At the beach yelling at kids this week. Blue jumped out of the boat while we were moving. Managed to catch him with my hand just as he came by the boat. Good times.
Look awesome Marshall, super jealous 
WOW, that looks awesome.

Yeah it was a great 2 days. The other 4 days were spent hauling kids and all the gear to the beach, applying sunscreen, changing diapers, fixing sliding glass doors at the house, cleaning the boat out from where other people just used it and never did anything to maintain it. That has to be my biggest gripe of the dissadvantages of owning a beach house with 3 other people. The other 3 don't do anything to help keep the boat in good working order. They just put it in the water and use it and then put it back. They don't wash anything or drain the gas out of the carb, or flush the motor and when it breaks they just send it off to the marina where they charge 1k just to replace the water pump. 4 days is just not long enough. You need a week. It takes 4 days just to get to the point of relaxing. Then it takes 3 hrs to pack the car up.
lol imagine all that with 4 kids instead of 2...
