Lightning & Thunder

July 24th, 2007 · No Comments

Somthing I really enjoy but rarely got to experience in San Diego is thunderstorms. They’re much more frequent here in Las Vegas, but only for a short time during the summer monsoon season.

Leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq Captured on July 4
Happy Independence day - again! How much more fitting could it have been to capture the leader of the group most responsible for killing our soldiers? OK, maybe it would have been better timing if we’d gotten him on the anniversary of the capture of Baghdad. [...]
