On this Memorial Day I wanted to take a quick moment to express my thankfulness and gratitude for those that have served or are currently serving our country to protect and defend our freedoms.  There’s no doubt in my mind we live in THE BEST country and it’s only as a result of the prices payed by all the men and women working each and every day to keep it that way.
So, whether it be the armed services, the local policeman, fireman, and other civil servants, THANK YOU for all your hard work and sacrifice. It’s because of you that I’m able to go spend the day at the pool with my kids.

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, the SC Highway Patrol issued a list of items you should have as you set out on the roads:
- First-aid kit
- Flashlight
- Blankets
- Drinking water and snacks
- Flares
- Jumper cables
- An ice scraper if there is snow where you plan to travel.
Also, they suggest saving restroom breaks for designated rest areas. However, if you much stop at a convenience store or gas station, be aware of your surroundings and know that theives could be watching and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
So, be safe this week and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

As if the rocky financial and home markets aren’t enough, now we have to deal with the loss of Jake Delhomme for the season.
Wow, what a blow.
Let’s just hope the Panther’s offseason acquisition of David Carr can pay dividends now. It certainly hasn’t looked all the promising the last 2 games, but now that Delhomme’s officially on the shelf for the season, maybe Carr can quit looking over his shoulder and just play like the 1st pick of the draft he’s supposed to be.
