the family I saw one time in the Sierras while I was driving back from skiing. There are two runaway truck ramps on Westbound I-80, and I saw a family stopped right at the entrance to the ramp, having a picnic lunch on the tailgate of their SUV while the kids played in the pile of gravel. That's a ramp located on a long downgrade, and it gets a LOT of use! I had a CB radio at the time, and boy oh boy... it was crackling with laughing, disbelieving truckers who were saying 'What the h..........?"

OP ABOUT ES AWARD sm
Thanks for your input. I definitely will get him a gift. I will go to the area Scouting stores and see what I can find. I know it is a great accomplishment. He has three older brothers and he is the only one that did scouting. He was never that good in sports so martial arts and scouting was his passion. My daughters were in Girl Scouts until about 7th grade. I think an Eagle Scout Award holds more clout than a Girl Scout Award. My daughters have dated some guys who had gotten Eagle Scout awards and they were so nice and very polite and I came right out and told them how impressive I was that they were 18 and still in scouting even though they took their teasing from others.
I agree that Carrie should not have won this award....but
I don't agree that she has no talent....WHAT?!!? lol
Opinion needed regarding Eagle Scout Award
My nephew is receiving his Eagle Scout Award on Saturday. Are we suppose to give him a gift of some sort? I told my mother that I did not think so since he had a lot of donations from our town. What is your opinion? In case anyone is curious for his project he beautified the VFW Hall in his town by planting a memorial garden. I am always impressed with boys who stick with scouts until the age of 18.
P.S. congrats to your husband, sounds like a nice award!

Everybody is making it out like she's the first rock star to have a drug problem and win an award
Beatles, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, Eagles, INXS, Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, The Doors, and on and on and on. If we only listened to, or gave awards to, the clean and sober musicians, our musical legends would be a completely different list.
