I spent over four hours in my car today traveling about 30 miles in metropolitan Atlanta.
Four days after getting about six inches of sleet, snow and freezing rain and our roads were still a mess.
Spending four hours in car going no where gives you some time to think.
I thought about the weather and how cold it was (below freezing) and it reminded me of a time when I had visited the Tomb of the Unknown soldier in Arlington National Cemetery one winter when it was spitting snow.
I watched the change of the guards in the cold and the snow. It's a very impressive thing to see at any time, I've been there more than once, but it's particularly impressive if you are there sometime when the weather isn't exactly perfect.
I'd really encourage you to visit there if your travels ever take you to the capital city of Washington, DC.
I can't convey the caliber of people we have in this country. If you ever visit there and see the changing of the guard, you'll know what I mean.
Do that some time before you die.
Put it on your "things to do before I die" list if you haven't been there and personally witnessed the changing of the guard.
Very impressive.
