Now, that's kinda cool. Of course you didn't get in the way of mama and cubs. They can be quite protective of their little ones.

I was just going to autozone in new london and a lady in front of me went off the road into the ditch. Pulled over went down and opened up the door and she wasnt responding to anything I said for a minute, she looked like she was in shock, she came to and said "my son!" Both her and her boy were fine, think she was rel shaken up, glad they are ok though!

WOW, the first thing I thought of was "oh my gosh, my wife" but the boys are grown up and would not be riding in the car with her!!!

Hello everyone:

No word yet on the job in Iraq.

Getting a few calls still from other prospects, one wants to fly me down to Charlotte, NC for a job interview and the advertised rate is down at high schooler entry level because my certificate isn't current.
