This branch got nice new carpeting thanks to the Louisville Water Company's water main break a few months ago. Pancake does not like this carpet as much as the other one. She did not get a biscuit here today. She did get a nice snooze in, though.
Chase got to file a nice claim for the water damage from the water main leak. Since Chase Bank loaned Louisville a whole bunch of money perhaps that was by design.
On September 27th, 2008, Trooper 2 responded to Waldorf, Maryland to assist the Waldorf Volunteer Fire Department with a motor vehicle crash. Working alongside first responders, two patients were identified for transport. A second medical provider would be required to assist with patient care in the helicopter.
Trooper 2 encountered poor weather while attempting to deliver the patients to a trauma center, and diverted to the closest airport. The helicopter crashed in Walker Mill Park on approach to Andrews Air Force Base.
The flight crew, one patient, Ashley Younger, and the Waldorf VFD medical provider, Tonya Mallard, were killed in the crash. One patient, Jordan Wells, survived the crash and was located, treated, and transported by rescuers.
Spotted behind El Nopal & Brix at the Forest Springs Shopping Center. Not sure where this grease originates from but it's all downhill from there.
Tune fruit is the fruit from the prickly pear cactus. This was served on the breakfast buffet. It was very good. The seeds were edible.

Flash Floods - "During" -
During:
Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground. Do not wait for instructions to move.
If you must prepare to evacuate, you should do the following:
Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances. Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
Secure your home. If you have time, bring in outdoor furniture. Move essential items to an upper floor.
Be aware of stream, drainage channels, canyons and other areas known to flood suddenly. Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without typical warnings such as rain clouds or heavy rain.
If you have to leave your home, remember these evacuation tips:
Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.
Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be swept away quickly.
Do not camp or park your vehicle along streams, rivers or creeks, particularly during threatening conditions.
Teach your kids and pets how to swim.
Pancake and I had hoped to have a peaceful Sunday morning hoping for some solitude with the ducks and geese at the park. We took a couple of breakfast sandwiches and headed out (a 10 minute drive). We were intercepted by some strategically placed cones and greeted by a very nice police officer who'd asked us to turn around and gave directions for the detour. via Johnson Road.
He said 4 people were injured in one car and two in the other. He said they crashed into a tree. Note there was no ice on the road and it was only misting. The people were taken to the hospital. No one died at the scene.
We stopped along the way to snap some quick shots. We never made it to the park.
