Top Down Weather in February
Forecasted to reach almost 80 degrees today so my better half and I took a nice 2 hour top down drive from Hagerstown MD to Front Royal VA. Unbelievable. Maybe this climate change isn't all bad after all.

Perhaps it should be called climate reversal. Here in SoCal, where I can enjoy top down driving most of the time, it is raining and cold. While playing golf early yesterday, the second green at Los Robles was pelted with hale, leaving it white for a short time. We are expecting rain and snow at higher elevations over the next few days.

Not really. Graduated high school and went to UNC before being commissioned in the Army. Never assigned to Ft. Bragg.
