Lessons From the Past

As I sit here today and watch hurricane Ike whip its way across Cuba, I am reminded of other hurricanes in the past.

I went to Academy Sporting Goods store this morning and bought two battery operated lanterns. Bebe said she liked the candles, but they weren't much good for anything except looking pretty.
