Batten em down!

[Hoss]

Suuuuurrre it was...

Maybe something to it.  Looks like it's down again. At least as of 5 minutes ago.

EDIT:  Never mind, it's back up.  Sheesh!

[custosnox]

needed some allergy pills so decided to hit a couple of errands while out.  Roads weren't bad, but a lot more slick spots than before making stopping interesting at times.

If you weren't so picky you wouldn't know the alignment was out and wouldn't notice until the tires were trashed.  Then you wouldn't know whether to blame it on the snow storm or just general rotten Tulsa roads.  

Wait, are you two saying my car should be pointed in the direction of travel, and not about 10 degrees off to one side?

Unless you are in a boat or airplane, it is preferable. Not as much fun though.

While they are not warning us to "batten 'em down", the national weather service posted this crap:



I'm not a fan of winter.

Wow! Agree with both you and Heiron on the same day.  I'm really slipping now.  If I'm not carefull, maybe Wevsus will be next.  OUCH.  Even the thought of it hurts.

I like winter, as long as I don't have to drive in it.  I don't worry about me driving, it's everyone else.
