My nickname, “Gruggers,” was coined by a two-year-old granddaughter about nine years ago. We think it was her combination of “Grandpa” and “Doug.” It really stuck, and I am now ”Gruggers” to the wife, in-laws, and grandchildren
I have a novel “in-progress” and memoirs “in-mind.” I blog regularly on several different sites. I love wildlife and outdoor photography. I admire artistic people.
Hi Grugger. I sent you a PM through today.com, responded to your comment on my blog!
Hi Doug,
Do you have any of your photos posted somewhere on the web, like “Flickr” or “Picassa”? As you may or may not remember from our FDR days, I always carried a camera and I still do.

Hi Doug-
I was reading on your blog about preparedness. We came out with some new technology in emergency water storage that is now being used by the Red Cross. Water goes quickly when people are panicked, grocery stores and Home Depot run out, and if you decide to prepare you find that the 2 & 5 gallon containers arent enough for a family (especially if they have pets) and the big barrels on preparedness sites are cumbersome to store and VERY expensive to ship. Our system stores flat and expands to 55 or 65 gallons either standing alone or in a bathtub… even transportable & perfect for disaster response. If you or any of your contacts want to see for themselves, click www.hurricanewarehouse.com. Save the link for when you need it, or sooner if you really want to be prepared. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. Thanks Grugger! = )
