  1. 9 degrees this morning here in Indiana. This is the coldest I can remember for this time of year. I guess it is just global warming.

  3. My Army Ranger Service Manager has been diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer. He has been the heart and soul of our shop and my dear friend. Please pray for him and his family and for me as I deal with all the implications of this development.
