Many of the people in the inland portion of this storm are going to get an ugly surprise when they find out that their homeowner's insurance doesn't cover floods.
It was Air Force. Back in the day, the various military services (and some non-profit groups) provided versions of the National Anthem which television stations would use when they either signed on or signed off.
I don't think any stations sign off anymore; and the last time I remember stations...
Thanks. It looks like I need to wait for this hurricane to pass through. It's going to go right over their shop! Last thing I need is for this to end up literally blown away
Anyone ever use UpFix? My instrument cluster needs work, and they look like they could handle it. The odometer readout and gear indicator are super dim. I found info about fixing it myself, but when I pulled the panel, it was different. I'd rather send it to someone who knows what they're doing.

Petty...
Must be back up now, at least partially. My wife's car was stuck until this afternoon waiting for a part that simply couldn't be found without the computer.
Doesn't anybody keep one old guy on staff that still knows where everything is?
