Flooding across eastern Pennsylvania is bad enough that I got another warning order about activating the Guard for flood control. What a mess!!! They evacuated Wilkes-Barre today. Rivers are cresting way above flood stage all across the mid state.
On the plus side, if I don't get activated my oldest daughter got me and my sons tickets for the Richmond NASCAR race. Richmond is arguably one of the best tracks on the circuit: short, fast, wide enough for passing. I hope we get to go!
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)
