Hurricane Dennis
Sorry for the light blogging today. I would have loved to have weighed in more on the London bombings - and less flippantly than below.
Bottom line: I blame Al Qaeda. Anyone who's out there thinking he's clever by blaming someone else other than Al Qaeda needs to stop examining his navel.
Unfortunately, the Florida Keys are under a Hurricane Watch, and I've been busy getting ready to respond to that one. I'll be at my unit by tomorrow afternoon, and will probably not return until the mission has been accomplished.
The thing is, right now, I have several soldiers, including my First Sergeant, who live in Key West, and who are simultaneously trying to board up their homes, evacuate their families, find homes for their pets, and somehow make it up the crammed US 1 to get out of the lower Keys.
So those guys need your prayers.
Oh, here's something for you...
I talked with one of my Key West soldiers today, well after the order came to evacuate all lower keys.
"Sir, I'm almost ready to leave, but my wife is still at work and they won't let her out."
"Ok. Where does she work?"
(I'm thinking, hospital? Police station? Public transit? Emergency service?)
"She works in a bar."
"They're keeping the bar open?"
"Yes, sir."
"Dude. You must live in Key West."
I can't wait to visit that bar down the road and tell the owner how dumb he is.
Splash, out
