Good morning all. Just a few weeks ago, our lows were in the low-70's, today, that's suppose to be our high. That's about ten degrees below normal. That won't last though since we'll be back in the upper 80's by the end of the week.
It's been a year since Sandy hit the Jersey shores. I've been watching a few shows on TV that have been going there and working on some of the mess created by Sandy, and it's great that the networks are diverting that kind of energy and money to help there rather than do their usual home repair-type shows. Apparently, many of those in need still haven't gotten the government's help, as promised, nor have they settled with their insurance companies. That's a pity. We're able to provide a half-billion dollars to a company that went broke a few weeks later, we're going to come up about ten-billion dollars short on a 50 billion dollar loan we made to a major car company or we can give away billions to countries that despise and fight against us, but we can't spend the tax dollars where they are needed the most, to help our own people.
I was born and raised in New Jersey, and although I haven't lived there for many years, I still feel the connection.
Enough of the soapbox, I also want to remind you that we have just two short days to bid on the N scale caboose being auctioned off here. We appreciate those who have been bidding, and we are always amazed at the support we get from our members here.
