    No. I believe that he mentioned that Christmas was a non negotiable. He will be home to be with his grandchildren.

    I traveled home (Ocala) from Nashville today, absolutely fearing the worst, and I was completely surprised. Only tapped the brakes in McDonough, the rest was a breeze. Merry Christmas @supersnackbar

    Im usually never home to wrap gifts so I was never asked to. This year I was almost threatened to. I made it through 3 and was relieved of my duties. I asked why. She said all I did for the entire 10 minutes was complain about it. Told me I run my mouth more than an F ing woman. I continued to argue and said next year it would be nice if we had two pairs of scissors. She then chucked a roll of paper at me like a spear.

    Guess it's a white Christmas in this part of Idaho. Was just 70 miles to my chosen stopping point for a 650 mile day when a snowstorm comes blowing in. Went from perfect visibility and clear roads to all white and 100 ft visibility in about 10 minutes. Roads disappeared under the snow and a a few trucks were claimed by the ditch.

    Rolled it into this small Loves that was so overfilled that if you had a spot, you weren't getting out of it. Not cause you don't want to run in no blizzard but because trucks have completely blocked you in.

    Parking here is like a horseshoe, and trucks have parked in both the entrance and exit of it blocking everyone who got a spot in.

    Managed to make me a spot in the bobtail parking section with a trailer...

    The 3m tape company love's me this time of year...lots of tape, and wrapping paper patches where I underestimate the size of the paper and don't feel like cutting another piece....again and again, or accidently tear it trying to stretch the paper to fit.

    I know what you're saying about the traffic. I came down from the Nickajack Love's. I was going around Atlanta around 7 am-ish. The only time I slowed down all the way to Macon was at the interchanges getting on and off the bypass...other than that it was running against the governor...that was until just south of Perry where we came to a stop because of an SUV that got catapulted over the guardrail and landed upsidedown in the ditch. I guess everyone around Atlanta slept in before going over the river and thru the woods to Granny's house

    Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to you and yours as well


    to you as well
