Fantastic word game

Game plan this weekend is to watch on Sunday, the Raiders at Houston, and at the same time ,with my second TV in the game room run Nascar from Kansas Speedway.
 
In my market, we have Eyewitness News, which is WTVD Channel 11 in Raleigh-Durham North Carolina.

When I was a young lad growing up on the rough streets of suburban Philadelphia, we always had Action News on Channel 6, which is WPVI. Jim Gardner was the anchor than and he is still the anchor. There were some extremely sad broadcasts. The first one was in 1981 when Jim O'Brien jumped out of a plane and the parachute did not open. The next one happened a few months ago when Sports Director Gary Papa passed away from cancer.

Here is something interesting... Jim O'Brien's daughter played "Roz" on "Frazier. Jim's replacement Dave Roberts, his son is David Boneraz (bad spelling) from "Buffy", "Angel", and now "Bones". Growing up Action News was like family.
 
Raleigh-Durham North Carolina and it's neighboring then-flooded towns recently "celebrated" the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Floyd.


Were you there in '99 for Floyd, Stuart?? How bout you, quad??
 
Hugo and Floyd were very frustrating storms as was, to a slightly lesser degree, the R-I board maintenance this morning and I'm just glad it didn't last all day long like it did a couple of weeks ago.


At least we don't have to evacuate because of R-I board maintenance although it'd be funny if we did. Those R-I techs can be quite the jokesters.
 
A couple of weeks ago I took a drive up to the Sierra-Nevada Mountains and kicked back at 5000 feet in elevation at Camp Edison at Shaver Lake CA.
 
Existed it does and looks very serene according to the one picture on Wikipedia and I feel that since we weren't invited that we should take a TFWG Road Trip without Kenrayc.
 
To get there take highway 168 from Fresno, but next time I'll invite ya all, this place would make a good West Coast version of band camp.
 
West Coast version of band camp already exists because we have PowerWorld LLC satellite offices around the world and 7 band camp locations throughout California alone.



We are still working on an "alternative" location for San Francisco.
 
7 band camp locations throughout California alone , most in the Sierra-Nevada mountains, like Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National parks, but the best alternative for the San Francisco location would be Santa Cruz Beach.
 
Vacation destination ideas could be furnished by your local Travel Agent.

WMC,
I was here for Hurricane Floyd. To be honest with you, I do not remember Floyd doing much damage to this area (or at least our neighborhood). It was Hurricane Fran (1996) that I will never forget. We were pretty much OK. Many people were without water and electricity for weeks.
 
Travel agent information usually includes destinations that are under hurricane watches.
