It doesn't always take money to close schools.

Onslow County NC closed school 3 days before Florence. They are still closed and the word is, they will probably be closed for 2 more weeks. 40 schools with 29 damaged.

Unless your records have been declassified,

it is illegal to even state what clearance you have or had. I joined the Army Security Agency May, 1963 - May, 1967. First boot camp Ft. Dix NJ. Next came language school for Russian at the Defense Language Institute. From that point on all of my records have been flagged. Most likely the same goes for you. If you are interested you can find out if your records are still flagged, contact the office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, headquarters department of the USAF. You needed a high clearance since all branches of the military worked for the same agency and worked with special intelligence. Being in the USAF, with a little digging, you can find out why we attacked Grenada even though you were out by then. The hint is USAF.

No, I would not eat my pets,

but then I wouldn't eat my grandson.

"Post Storm"

What, do they send everyone home before the hurricane hits so they can board up their windows?

I'm 75 and live near Jacksonville NC.

I am not going anywhere. My wife took our great-grandson and went to Alabama. She wanted me to go with her, but I told her I would rather be in a hurricane than Alabama. I lived in Margate Fl during Andrew, earthquakes in CA and sandstorms in Turkey and didn't leave. Just because we have a lot of years behind us does not mean we are senile. The only thing I told her to do was if she finds my body, bury me in the backyard so she can keep getting my Social Security and VA disability. After 75 years, cheating death is the only fun left.

I would feel better about it

if it was the military having control, not the CIA. Better, not good.

Onslow County NC

schools are now closed until next week. Gives people time to go inland.

I am more than a bit surprised

that what ever the US is using for an embassy in Jerusalem hasn't been bombed yet,

I think he is waiting until after the 2018 elections.

See which way the wind is blowing.

I just hope that he doesn't listen to his people to shut up.

At least until the 2018 elections are over. Then if the Republicans keep their majorities in both houses we will know that this country is screwed and if he wins in 2020, he will be the last president we ever have.
