I’ve been visiting this site for a long time,and I’m glad that I finally joined FreeRepublic.There’s not much to say about myself except that I am a proud American and a Conservative Republican Jew. I’d also like to say that I’m afraid for my country,just like the rest of you. I am also a MAJOR weather geek who has an infrared image of Hurricane Andrew as my screensaver! I wasn’t in the storm,thank G-d,but as a person who wants to be a meteorologist I cannot help but be fascinated by it.

I am obsessed with the Tampa Bay Lightning and the NHL in particular. I once walked past the entire St.Louis Blues team down in Tampa!
