From here to there

A native of Virginia Beach, Jimmy Frost travels the nation as a long-haul trucker and offers a perspective on transportation affecting Hampton Roads and other parts of the nation. He hopes to "re-humanize" the men and women driving up and down the highways to other motorists, promote highway safety as well as point out what we can all do to make our drive a little less stressful.

Apparently there was a storm?

You have to hand it to our local media, they certainly do make a mountain out of a mole-hill.

It never ceases to amaze me how whenever a sour wind blows, especially if it has a name granted to it by the National Weather Service.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of the "smotherage" that comes along every time there's even the hint of a hurricane-I realize that the media has a responsibility to report what's going on, but I think that they're taking it a little far, and scaring people too much.

Of course, if you're selling batteries, plywood, bottled water or bread I can only imagine that the more fear and anxiety the better.
