I am the flag of the United States of America
I am the flag of the United States of America.
(Image courtesy of the Westminster Municipal Band – they are awesome. Just saying.)
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom. I am confident.
I am arrogant. I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.
I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.
Guam, Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.
I was there. I led my troops.
I was dirty, battleworn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries
I have helped set free. It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled in the streets of my country.
And when it's done by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of earth and
stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have born silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battle field,
when I am flown at halfmast to honor my soldier,
or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
I am the flag of the United States of America.

Experienced U.K. Rider Dies When Lead Rope Wraps Around Her Neck
How many of us have thoughtlessly draped a lead rope across
our shoulders when we get busy and aren't thinking... "Take just a minute
to remind yourself to be careful when you're working with horses, even when
you're not mounted. Casually looping a rope around your arm can lead to
disaster before you even know it. Stay safe, be careful, and have fun…”
According to the story by Paige Cerulli Retrieved February
23, 2019:
“In a tragic accident, a rider was killed when a lead rope
became wrapped around her neck and the horse bolted.
“Kathryn Bull, 39 years old of Nottinghamshire was killed in
a tragic accident. Bull, an experienced horseperson, was dragged 450 feet
across a field when the rope attached to a horse she was leading became wrapped
around her neck…”

An ice storm on February 21, 1902 paralyzed Carroll County
Dayhoff Time Flies: An ice storm on February 21, 1902
paralyzed Carroll County Time Flies Sunday, February 17, 2019 by Kevin Dayhoff
Almost 120 years ago. Carroll County experienced a rain and
sleet storm that the American Sentinel newspaper hailed as “The Great Sleet
Storm,” according to a published account written for the Historical Society of
Carroll County in Feb. 1994 by local historian and Historical Society executive
director, now Judge Joe Getty.
[…]
In 1902, Carroll countians were just starting to become
dependent on the telephone, telegraph, and electric power. So you can imagine
the paralysis which resulted as The Democratic Advocate proclaimed: “The
wreck of the system in this city of the Western Maryland Telephone Company was
nearly complete. Two-thirds of the poles were down, cross-arms broken off and
wires snapped and tangled all over the city, particularly from the railroad
east.”
[…]
Lately, February in Maryland has been living up to its
reputation and turning into an endurance contest. This column goes best with Antonio
Vivaldi’s “L’inverno,” the winter movement of “The Four Seasons”
violin concerto written in 1723. Who knew Vivaldi invented heavy metal in
1700s?

Reviewing the art submitted for the magazine Creative Expressions – at Carroll Lutheran Village
Reviewing the art submitted for the magazine Creative Expressions – at Carroll Lutheran Village
A little while ago, just before the holidays I was mailed my copy of the magazine ‘Creative Expressions’ from Carroll Lutheran Village. I set my copy on the corner of my desk to look at later… Well, I finally got a chance to uncover it. It is wonderful to leaf through the magazine with art from the residents at Carroll Lutheran Village. It just seems like yesterday that we did the judging – but it was a number of months ago, that I was among the three local artists that met on Aug. 2, 2018 to select the artwork at Carroll Lutheran Village
On Sunday, September 2, 2018, [Update: 30Dec2018,] the Carroll County Times ran a copy of the picture we took that day in the section called, “Prime,” news for the 55-forward community. Page C3 Sunday, September 2, 2018. [Update: 30Dec2018] Creative Expressions - Three local artists met on Aug. 2 to select the artwork to appear on the covers of Creative Expressions, the annual Carroll Lutheran Village creative magazine produced by residents [that was just recently released.] The artwork was created by Village residents and staff for the 2018 issue of Creative Expressions.
From left: Kelwin Warren, Creative Expressions Committee Chair Jane Nupp, Kevin Dayhoff, Lyndi McNulty, and Creative Expressions photographer George Painter. Creative Expressions will be publish in late November. COURTESY PHOTO/CARROLL LUTHERAN VILLAGE

#SavingLives #Training The training never stops
#SavingLives #Training The training never stops. Caroline and I are taking a recertification class for CPR, AED, and first aid along with the instructors and volunteers with the 4-H Therapeutic Riding Program of Carroll County; in the training room at the Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1.
As a group, we have been taking this class together for about 20-years. We have 15 in the class. Westminster Fire Company firefighter and EMS provider Ed Burrell is the instructor.
This is the first time we have taken the class at the fire company. The Westminster fire company has recently begun an initiative to provide various emergency response classes. Having a working EMS provider is a great advantage because the instructor can provide real-life experience insights for the class. February 18, 2019 Monday.
Yesterday, 17feb2019, we attended the 7:45 a.m. service at Grace Lutheran Church.
Yesterday, 17feb2019, we attended the 7:45 a.m. service at Grace Lutheran Church so that we could also go to the breakfast at the Reese fire hall. We really enjoyed the breakfast and saw lots of neat people, including Commissioner Dick Weaver and his wife, Lila.
