Have you ever heard of the East Coast Greenway? The East Coast Greenway connects 15 states, 450 cities and towns, and 3,000 miles of people-powered trails from Maine to Florida —the country’s longest biking and walking route. On its way through central and eastern North Carolina, the East Coast Greenway showcases the state’s natural features and cultural diversity. From rolling hills of pine, oak, and hickory forests to farmlands, thriving cities, cypress swamps, and coastal beaches, travelers will experience much of the Tar Heel State’s best. The current spine route passes through the Research Triangle cities of Durham and Raleigh on …

Thursday evening was a great training scenario where Westarea Fire Department and Fayetteville Fire Department worked together in a water rescue event. Rescue 1 personnel discussed proper equipment and usage, and then the 2 companies went into action mode. Thank you to Rescue 1 for providing training and guidance.
Be my guide, through the times of my life;Make me happy, forever be my wife.Spend the days into sunset by my side;Be next to me, hold my hand, let’s share this ride.Into glorious times of aging and growing old;Forever together, the two of us, as it is told.In prophecies and books, poems and rhymes;Holding each other, through all of the times.Good and bad, forget-less, and forgetful;Never looking back and feeling regretful.You are my wife, the one that makes me glow;I’m only looking forward, to being old and grow. Into the old couple that youngins’ long to be;Together forever, just you and … 
So back in the late 80’s I was completing training at Davis Monthan AFB, outside Tuscon AZ. A few days after returning back to F.E. Warren AFB in Cheyenne Wy, I was hospitalized with fevers breaching 106 (many ice baths followed), as well as lung and breathing issues, and welts the size of softballs on my legs and body; I was diagnosed with “Valley Fever”, or coccidioidomycosis. I have to explain to medical professionals even today what it is…… Millions of residents and visitors traveling to the American Southwest each year may not know that the air they breathe could … 
WOW….this happened within miles of my daughter Shannon’s house. The storm was bad, but I was not aware how bad. The people and the animals are in my thoughts……. A powerful storm that pummeled a busy Colorado zoo with large hail injured 14 people and killed two animals. The Colorado Springs Fire Department says five people were taken to the hospital with traumatic injuries after the short but intense storm passed over Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on Monday afternoon.
Day 2: Either create a piece of art in response to your favorite poem or write a poem in response to your favorite piece of art.(hover on picture!) Lightning….Lightning streaks through the sky at night, Chasing shadows going left and right.Clearing the way for more to come,Dancing in the darkness, not to be outdone.The wind howls and provides its song, For the lightning to dance all night long.With crescendos of sounds; crashing and banging,Any loose thing can add sounds clanging.The clouds hide the stars and moon,The sound of thunder, echo the doom.Of the power within the streaks of might,So beautiful God’s writing … 
What did you enjoy most / least about today’s challenge?The least enjoyable thing about today’s challenge was trying to figure out how to photograph my interpretation of God’s love for me. I kept asking myself how, what, where…..and all day I tried to come up with the answers to these questions. I struggled with this, and even thought that as a photographer the 30-day art challenge might not be for me. But, as I relaxed, and asked God for guidance, I was enlightened that I did not have to use today’s picture to show God’s love, but any picture that …
