    No problem as far as I'm concerned. Just sitting in my recliner, watching the Packers play a less than stellar game, so far.

    12" of snow tonight along I-15 in southern Idaho, up to 20 inches on the higher passes.

    Haven't seen this much snow in 25 years. We're not going to have a deer herd left if this doesn't break.

    It is POURING down rain. I'm soaked, of course right at time when I had to dock.

    No one ever mentioned rain in the brochure.

    Think of Gene Kelly, "Singing in the Rain." Dance with your umbrella while singing this famous song.

    I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
    What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
    I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
    The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
    Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
    Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
    I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
    And singin' just singin' in the rain

    Whatever you do, do not pull onto a dirt shoulder in Phoenix after a rainstorm. It may look solid, but it is not.

    I went into Buckeye this morning, and a garbage truck pulled off the road and almost slid into a canal. If a berm had not been there, he would ave been a goner.

    Been there, done that like 8 or so years ago lol. Driving for SRT. Went to turn around on some two lane after it had been raining down around Yuma. Sank right up to the axles. $400 to get pulled out. Paid the dude cash. There were 3 of us getting load with some sort of paint speckles for GM produced in mexico, and I was the last there, and this girl says " You passed me awhile ago where did you go? "
    I said yea I got stuck.
    She looks at the truck and says " Wow I'm surprised you got out, looks like it was pretty deep."
    I said Yea I got lucky.
