Every so often the Admiral takes the helm. Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014. Chronicled. We are in the midst of a series of rain "events". James and four friends are camping. Beer takes the edge off rain at camp. It's been known for centuries, I'm just passin' the torch. We expect to take them on the lake tomorrow, rain ending 9 am ish. Beer takes the edge off hot sun in the boat.
