    I got a pair of the long neoprene "fuel gloves" at Home Depot...with a pair of the medical latex as a layer didn't feel a bit of cold chaining up a couple weeks ago.

    Pretty new out here, once again. If you think chaining is unsafe, then you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Just got off the phone with one of our drivers....sitting it out at Redding T/A, smart move....another driver he just spoke to is stopped at Rice Hill, flooding up at Cottage Grove. Evidently the river is coming over the bridge on I-5. Just a mess up there.....I'm supposed to deliver in Fife Tuesday morning, so I will sit here at home and monitor the conditions. I can leave tomorrow late morning and make the delivery on time if the weather guessers are close to correct. Storm is supposed to be breaking up tonight....we'll see.
