A great story about the importance of blood donation and especially the blood bank I work for. Without our donors many patients lives would be in the balance.
Thinking about the children who died, the children who survived, their families, the faculty and staff of Woodmore Elementary School in Chattanooga, Tennessee after Monday’s horrible bus crash. Grace and peace to them all. May they find comfort today and in the coming days.
Here in the southeastern part of the USA it’s unseasonably warm. Temps have been in the 80’s and 90’s. I remember as a kid when highs would be in the 60’s and lows in the 30’s and 40’s. Fall, so far, has been more like Summer. I sure wish it would cool down.
Today was a great day for college football. It was windy and cooler than its been in recent days. My boys in blue and gold played great today. I am very pleased with today’s results!
Today is homecoming at my hometown university today. The featured event is a football game between the third ranked Chattanooga Mocs and The Mercer University Bears.

Coolidge Park in Chattanooga is named after Charles Coolidge who is a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. It’s on the North Shore of Chattanooga and is a great place to ride a carousel, have a picnic, watch movies, enjoy a concert and enjoy the the incredible view of Downtown Chattanooga which is right across the Tennessee River. It’s also one of the awesome places to hunt Pokemon.
