    Friend in Austin sent me this. He complains loudly when the temps are in the 40’s and he spent the other nite in 10 degree weather with no heat. LoL

    Today was good with smattering of Twilight Zone.

    I mean The OM is currently eating my f salad. Doesn't want her cat food. This would be unusual on any other day.

    It snowed like 17 mofo's for about 50 miles on 40.

    Snowed all day east of Flag to Albuquerque, but that stretch around Milan always get nailed.

    Almost had to stop to de- ice / snow the blades and hood. Then it settled down.

    Two rollovers, both on west bound side, down over the side. Neither of those will play the violin again.

    It’s on 190, just west of the center of Hammond. Best to park on the eastbound side, by the Church, walk over. Right next to Lees Drive in. They have good food too. Also great pizza and Italian food at Tommy’s on Thomas $$$. But the Superking has the deal on excellent fresh boiled Seafood and fried fish, ready daily at 11:00 am.

    Keep an eye on it. Often when they have a few good slips, they keep doing it.

    I went thru that #### hole of a place couple days ago.... 3 wrecks, first one just outside tucumcari, another right on the grade coming into albequerque, and another just west of albequerque , i was so fed up i jumped down i25 , and picked up us60 the next morning and hopped back to 40 in holbrook..... Im getting so sick of the wrecks and shutdowns in new mexico on 40 .... It seems like it never ends...

    Good Driver, keeps a safe distance. Tell him I said he deserves a Safety bonus. With the OMs approval of course.
