Ike

The Red Falcons have been put on a 24 hour recall for FEMA. They may be headed south to Texas or Louisiana. Don't know much beyond that so we will see.

Sen. McCain was in town Monday and Sen. Obama will be here Saturday. It's been 20 years since Jacksonville has received this kind of attention. It's a bit surprising because North Florida has been the Republican stronghold since the mid-80s. I think it demonstrates how close the race is. Turnout will be the key.

Talked with a friend of mine last night. He is a Vietnam vet. He said he didn't sleep for 14 years after he came home. Night terrors would send him flying out of bed in the middle of the night. Things do improve with time. At least these days, we know with what we are dealing.

please know there are also many more options for dealing with PTSD than our Vietnam Vets had. They were the ones who brought the disease to the medical world's attention, since then the medical world has searched for treatments that will help.

Tell Sgt Mark to waive to me as he passes through or over Dallas okay?

He's in my prayers.
