Veterans Day

A special mention on this Veterans Day and thanks to those who served us in the Military and helped keep us free.  Even if it is the freedom to protest in the streets by those who want something for nothing.  They should be given the opportunity to serve their country in a meaningful manner, rather than try to destroy it.  

It is also a neat date of 11/11/11. 

We made it here to Concord, NC and will be staying here until the Monday after Thanksgiving.  It was an easy 300 mile drive with the exception of two times when the traffic was almost at a standstill.  It delayed us about an hour, but it seems lately that is the rule for taking I-85 toward the Charlotte, NC area.  The traffic going north was at a standstill and they had the highway shut down completely for some reason.  We didn't see any wrecks or any obvious problems, but something was up.  They were diverting vehicles off the highway onto a small interchange.  I am glad we weren't in that mess since it looks like it will be hours before it clears up.

My reward for driving safely here is a nice cold Yuengling beer.  Life is good.
