Expressways

Can be dangerous to a deer’s health…

There’s a new expressway being built in Southwestern Pennsylvania, which is quite a hilly place. One of the unanticipated problems they are having is that deer are leaping over the guard rails on bridges, some of which are 200 feet or so above ground level. Fortunately, no deer have landed on any cars or people yet!

Easter

Lots of candy…

Its Easter so there’s lots of candy and other junk food around. Its raining, so nothing much to do except fool around with the blogger on the PC! Guess my kids and grandkids will show up today and help us devour the “Honey-Baked” ham. Buster the dog likes the grandkids to visit as he views them as an easy food source, i.e., drop a lot of stuff on the floor and also try to feed him when they think nobody is watching!

9/11

I saw the Pentagon burning on 9/11…

11 September 2001 was a day I wll certainly never forget. My office building is about 10 miles West of the Pentagon and one could see the smoke and fire from there. Its still hard to comprehend that the World Trade Center Towers are gone and that there were over 6000 people killed in the space of a couple of hours. Lets all hope that this was a wakeup call to all Americans, and to the peope of all nations around the globe.

On The Road

To Ottawa and Durham…

Well, its been about six months since I made and entry, so I guess its time. I’ve been traveling a lot, mostly to Ottawa, Canada and Durham, NC. Bet you didn’t know that an airplane ride from Washington-Dulles International Airport is about the same length of time to either place.
