Hot - Hot - Hot - Sizzle - Hot
Working on putting up a tower here at the house. We will be
installing emergency management
antennas on top of it. I am also getting an anemometer from Maxima.
Should be a good one
for picking up wind gusts. Also working on a tower cam! Very excited
about all of this! heh
I know I am a weenie :) It gives me something to do and keeps me out of
trouble. Both are a
good thing!
We have installed new emergency management radios here in the Disaster
Response Center.
I can now have full communications with McCracken and Ballard Counties. I
can also talk on
regional bands for Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois. The next big
project is prob going
to be the tower. Hopefully we will start on that next week. Still
working out the details. I also
need to get Tony to help with the tower cam...if I get one.
Otherwise...
Attended my first "Recovery Advisory Board" meeting this afternoon.
We basically were told
what would be expected of us...if we choose to participate. I am
definitely going to help. They
were looking for someone who has had past experience with drug and alcohol abuse
problems.
My job will be to help them with brain storming ideas on how to better reach out
to the
community and to help evaluate their programs and ideas. Sounds like
something I can handle.
This is through the Heartland Cares program which covers much of Central
and Western Kentucky
along with Southern Illinois and Indiana.
Looks like severe weather could impact the area on Friday. Cooler
weather after that! Will keep
watching the situation. I know one thing :) COOLER weather would be nice.
HUGE explosion here in Paducah tonight. 8000
gallons of gas/diesel blew up about four blocks
from the Red Cross Center.

A gasoline delivery truck loaded with 8-thousand
gallons of gas and diesel fuel flipped
over in the curve exploded near Paducah's Lowertown neighborhood sending a
huge plume of smoke into the air. It could be seen for miles. Martin
Luther King Junior
Drive and 4-th Streets near the Executive Inn downtown were blocked. The
explosion
knocked out power in the area. The power was restored to all the affected
areas by about 7:30 tonight.

Drought continues to spread across the country. This has been a
concern for awhile now. Latest charts show that
much of the nation is dry or in drought.
HAPPY 25th NDI :)

Pool party at Beau's House :)
Danielles ball team had a pool party at my place. There were A LOT of people here! Everyone seemed to have a good time. Bubba the dog was even here! Heh
I did get a note in my mailbox this afternoon from a neighbor. The note said that the kids were too loud yesterday and that the neighborhood would appreciate it if I would make sure things were not so loud. My thought on that was GET A LIFE PEOPLE. lol
Bubba - I am pretty sure I scared him
The ball teams season cake :)
The ball team and parents...
