@inqdragon2 Further coincidence, he also was working at the same construction site i had come to NC to work at!

Sorry if boring, but it was one of the strangest days of my life and it all has to be told to get the full scope.
@inqdragon2 On the drive back to the lake, we finally exchanged names.
Turns out this long haired, overall wearing guy was in my US Army unit in Germany. He was actually one of our buddies and I had even made him and the Southern contingent a Thanksgiving dinner once!
I have face-blindness/4
@inqdragon2 . . . position for recovery work as soon as the winds died down enough. So in 2004, that involved driving to FL through Bonnie to be in place for Charlie. Our office was a Winnebago. It was rocking. We had to fill it up with linemen to keep it from turning over.
@inqdragon2 In my home, Hurricane Fran. Trees through the roof, power out, windshields popped on both vehicles, rain coming in through bedroom ceiling.
But I also used to go on storm (hurricane) recovery for my company. This involved driving through storms to be in . . .
@PikoAndropov@SovEconomy@mattvanswol You are probably right. I took the precaution to speak softly so as not to embarass the aggressor (which would make him have to prove his toughness).
I had a lifetime of dealing with men. All brothers in childhood, Army, and construction work.
But I would likely not do again.
@dogwoodblooms Sweetie, I love the heat!
AND i can multitask.
I can hate and touch grass and dirt at the same time.
It don't get dangerous until I start twirling sticks and chucking rocks.
@SovEconomy@mattvanswol I stopped a fight between grown men in a park. I quietly reminded one that children were watching. He bowed up real big, walked away, turned around, came back and apologized.
Yeah, I was a little worried at first.
But in for a dime, in for a dollar.
@mattvanswol I pray for the troops.
I pray that somehow they can be freed from being lead by delusional liars and a cartoon Secretary of Defense.
We need reality to prevail.
@cabsav456 I agree about the tragic loss. However, I dont think those are policy comments. I think they are comments that we have put our children's lives in the hands of delusional people.
@inqdragon2 My granddaughter moved back in state after years of wanderlust.
I have no doubt it will strike again so we will enjoy while we can.
She is 30 and should grow out of it eventually
@mattvanswol Oh sweetie. I was hoping that you had figured this out on your own, but I guess I'll have to be the one to tell you.
Trump always, always, lies.
@FreddyLA7 The opening of this.national park is why my dad's hometown doesn't exist any more.
His whole family still lives in the area (Brownsville, Sweeden, Kyrock). Isolated and behind the times.
Love driving up and seeing the "sinks" in the area fields.
