    its never too late to learn how to swim, and you can start off in shallow water where you can stand up but just tread water, meaning, you just pick your feet up, still in the upright position and you move your arms and legs, and you just float like that. its good to know in case you need it in an emergency some day.

    Picture this: Driving in from Wright-Patterson AFB in OH and my wife & I are ready to spend the night there. When we arrived the girl at the front desk basically said, “You can’t stay here because Hurricane Sandy is supposed to come right over us tonight. We think it would be best if you don’t spend the night. We won’t charge you.”
    WOW!!! How nice was that - - folks that worried more about our safety than making a buck. This really meant a lot to us.
    We only had one chance to spend the night in Ronks since then & Weathervane was booked, but we’d like to give it another try.

    It's a breakfast lunch type place, small, looks like a converted house, gravel parking lot. I think the breakfast is really good, and the amazing thing is that for us there was never a wait. If three people walk in, three people walk out.
