Absolute possible worst case scenario: High tide in Atlantic City? 8 p.m. Highest tide of the month generally? Tonight? Expected landfall of Sandy? Atlantic City. Time of landfall? Around 8 p.m.

Some wind in Albany now--I figure around 15 mph.  No rain yet.  Our closing on our house was moved up half of an hour (to 4PM).

Oh my word I forgot about these men who guard our dead Hero's.      I did notice last time at Arlington there are two booths for the guards to go into when not doing their drill.   One to the right and one to the left of the area.

How the men do this every day, all the spit and polish, the hours of standing on alert is beyond me.  

You know we watch all the pageantry from England and never know that this in America going on 24/7 , every bit as awe inspiring as the Beef Eaters.  perhaps more.

We too have our traditions every bit as important as the Europeans.     Our traditions are becoming lost due to the liberals that  get in a huff about St. Paddy's day parade.   No problem with a Gay parade but that ST. Paddy's parade is raciest.

Interesting world we Americans have come into, Our American traditions are now bad due to outsiders coming in with their own traditions.  

Like it or not this country same as the middle East was founded on belief in God.   We have the Bible they have their Koran.

So why not allow others to to keep out of each other business, we who live by the Bible here and those that live by the Koran----Let us all be by our faith and stop trying to change each other into something else.   One cannot really convert by the sword, Russia tried that.
