Jill... just for you. Back when Larry was driving OTR (over the road) he was back east, on an interstate. A deer stepped out from behind an overpass and Larry smacked right into it. Poor thing never knew what hit her. In fact, he saved the guys in the little car behind him, even though the deer went under his truck and through their radiator. A hit through their windshield at those speeds would have injured them severely. Totaled their car anyway, and took out the truck's right fender and headlights. The police came and took a report. The deer was not carrying ID, she was a Jane Doe.

Well, it snowed last night and is snowing still. Nit so much in Southern Utah, but I have a lovely blanket outside right now. I do not want to shovel, but I try to do the steps and in front of the house so our mail carrier gets a break. I hope we have some salt or snow melt I can put down, the back steps get ice slicks. Yikes!
Traffic along the Wasatch Front is a snarled mess this morning. Lots of slide-offs. MyLarry always has hair-raising tales after a drive in the snow, last week he saw three major wrecks in 350 miles up in Idaho. This is interstate stretches in the middle of nowhere (sorry, Idaho, you know it is true!)
I'm sure he made it just fine, I'd have heard. Too early to call him; I don't want to wake him up or interfere with the unload. Or distract him in Vegas traffic!!!! I'm hoping he gets a Vegas run closer to Christmas so we can go relax and see our Vegas friends. Santa Rampage!

We're cold, but the big storm is south of us. Think warm and safe thoughts for MyLary, he is driving a load of steel down to Vegas tonight. He says one side of the truck is on snow, one is on ice. The weather service and UDOT say not to drive I-15 or I-70, but the trucks must roll.

Nothing I would admit to, LOL.

Jill, I'm not on the list. I served 1988-92 as a DC on the USS McKee AS-41
As for the predominance of veteran Navy moms here, is that a surprise? Would we really let our kids go into another service without a fight? And those other 10, well, they had smart kids. ;~D
The Navy RULES! (okay, sorry, my inner teenager got out there for a moment)

Lynn, that is one of my favorite books. I got into it when I picked up my teaching certificate and they made me get a second BS as a history major instead of a psych major. I have the other book too, Lies Across America, about roadside monuments and such.

Arwen, I'm a huge Stargate fan. I heard they had a broom closet with the SGC logo on it in the real Cheyenne Mountain. No clue if that's true, but I believe it.
People really need to read books like "Lies My Teacher Told Me". Not just to know what history has been revised, but how each generation imposes new meaning on old events so they may engage in critical evaluation of ideas and "facts". if it can be so easily accomplished with actual historic facts, how much more susceptible to corruption are our oral traditions? Yeah, critical thinking, there's a dream.
-

AntiM, I so agree with you. The 13 folds thing is just another jumped-up idea posing as an old tradition to try to claim some weight to its meaning. More revisionism of the history of our country... by the time we're old there will be so much tradition we won't recognize anything.

I always thought it was funny that they announced the closure of Cheyenne Mountain (NORAD) the same week SyFy Network announced that the show Stargate SG-1, which was "set" at Cheyenne Mountain for 10 years, would come to an end.
C'mon, what are the chances?
