Eye Catcher: Skeds

Sked by Brooks Gallman

Everyday, we pass things that draw our attention and today was no different. As I walked in to work today, I noticed these skeds (skeds often are used to rescue patients from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive events) rolled up on a cart. Since they are rolled up, they are taking on a tube shape and because they need to been seen by the emergency response community, they are bright in color, which, were the things that caught my eye. What peaked my interest though, was how often I see things like this and don't skip a beat.

How many things do we pass everyday that are common to us, but may not be common to everybody else?

Changing Of The Guards by Brooks Gallman

"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave."~Elmer Davis

 I am so thankful for liberty and freedom and the ability to live in a country that is predominantly safe. I thank God for the United States of America and for the troops that fought and continue to fight for this country. I have never served in the military, but the respect I have for our troops is really more than I can speak. If you are or have ever served in the military, I thank you and your family for your service. God Bless!

HorsePens 40: Boomslang Low

Joshua Reyes on Boomslang Low at Horse Pens 40 by Brooks Gallman

Located to the left of Slider and Cuts Like A Knife, sits Boomslang. To get to the low version of this you will need to go further down the boulder to the chalked up holds underneath. In the photo is Josh Reyes climbing out of Boomslang Low and even though this is probably his thousandth time to climb this route, the Alabama heat can definitely make an already difficult climb much more difficult.
