Act of Valor = SEALS kick ass!

Act of Valor = SEALS kick ass!  Not everyone will like this movie.  It’s a realistic glimpse into what the men and women of our military do to keep our country safe.  Act of Valor was a thrill ride of guns and high-tech gadgetry that also took in the human side of war.  It’s not always pretty or fair.  Love and war have their simularities.

But I must admit I wanted to see this movie because I respect our military, and from swords to bullets, warriors intrique me.  All though I write romance, I enjoyed  Sabastian Junger’s book, War and American Sniper.  Both interesting reads that delve into the worlds of those who put it all on the line.  The shop talk on weaponry was to say the least, eye opening.  I could see naming my guns…hell, I named my truck!

Hope those that can handle the truth check out Act of Valor.  With a finally salute to our miltiary guys and gals, and also those in the alphabet branches of our government – Stay Forever Strong!

Driving on Hatteras

Driving on OBX down at Hatteras, NC just got more complicated…and expensive. Yet, the Bonner Bridge over Oregon Inlet has a rating of 2, and could fall into the inlet, which most days is less than ten feet deep. Evidently, policing beach driving is more important. Don’t you just love government bureaucracy… http://outerbanksvoice.com/2012/02/01/park-service-sets-beach-driving-permit-prices/

Here’s a pic from the good old days (1977) when driving up and down Penny’s Hill was a Sunday outing.
