Lots of trending stuff on the web starting on Monday, August 29...August is ending with a bang around the world.
Looks like the family of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi took a hike to Algeria seeking safety. Gadhafi's wife, daughter, two sons and some grandchildren entered Algeria but it is uncertain if the main man himself was with the family.
Irene--the hurricane-turned-tropical-storm may be gone, but she left some major damage behind. Well over two million are still reported without power as of Tuesday! Wow! Thoughts and prayers are definitely with those affected...
With the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 around the corner, I read something interesting that I hadn't really thought about. Being a firefighter is a tough job and I so admire the bravery of these individuals, but I hadn't really thought about the logistics and difficulties of fighting high-rise fires in skyscrapers. Having just visited New York City, I can honestly say, wow those buildings are tall and a fire at the top is something I'm sure my small-town fire department would never have to deal with. Hats off to the big city guys and gals who have such tough jobs and situations to deal with...
That's all for now...more to come about the great big world of the web, from my little spot in the middle of nowhere...
