Memorial Day's Eve B-U-S-T

Even though the chance of decent storms today was slim I gave in to the temptation to head west early this afternoon as a few updrafts hovered near the Blue Ridge. By the time I got to Culpeper these had fizzled dramatically and I was left with a decision as to what to do next. So, I took the opportunity to visit a rural cemetery where my dad and some of his family are buried. As a veteran of both WWII and Korea he laid his life on the line for us and was one of the blessed ones that returned to have a family. A lot of folks never made it back, and those were the ones he called "heroes"...
