Burning flags and more

Last week, a friend of ours, woke up to find someone went onto his front porch, removed his American flag and set it on fire...When I heard about it, it set me off for a bunch of reasons...The fact that someone set that flag on fire while our friend was asleep with his wife and young daughter in the house deeply upset me...What a coward...They won't have had a chance if the flag somehow got on the house and caught it on fire...I'm am speachless about the whole thing...On Friday when Pete and I started to talk about it, the phone calls came in from folks offering money for a reward for infor for the arrest and coviction of those involved...It's time like this that I remember why we chose to live here...It was heartwarming during a time when I was just very angry for our friend...Hopefully someone will chirp about it or someone knows what happened and could use over $850...It's Washington County Fair week...I love the Maple House...I'm into anything with maple...When you're at the Fair this week, stop by and get something and think about me...I love Maple...I know Ken & Brian are getting set for another season of high school football on WWSC...I miss doing the games...The new surface at Glens Falls High School along with the new bleachers and press box, I know Ken & Brian will be ready for the 1st game there...I'm going to try to have the guys post their pro football picks every week so that you can pick against us...I'll let you know...That's it for now...See you on the radio...Dan

Vacations, Storms and more...Oh my!

I just got back from vacation on Cape Cod and it was fantastic...We even went into Boston one day and went to the Aquarium...I had never been there before and it was alot of fun, even for a 43 year old...We lucked out on the weather there with only one day a washout and that was the day we went to Boston...Speaking of weather, have you ever seen a summer with as many storms...Unreal...I feel bad for anyone that has come to the area for a little vacation and has been stormed upon...The Tri-County Mens Softball Championships are scheduled, weather permitting, in Whitehall on Monday & Tuesday...Good luck to Mike Rovelli & the crew in Whitehall to get the field in order...One final note...Our deepest condolences to the family of Roy Akins on his recent passing...Without Roy starting up the Broadcasting program at ACC, there is a good chance that many, like me, wouldn't be in radio today...Thanks Roy...See you on the Radio...Dan
