Poll skewed. People AT work have less of an opportunity to sit around and surf AR15.com. But, yeah, I teach and have the day off. Generally I don't like snow days but today it's nice because it is my son's 5th birthday today. We just got done building a Lego set. Maybe we'll play some Wii in a little bit.

Sadly we have these internet thingies all over the place. We have an optional snow day, but that just means we can work from home if we want.

We had rain that turned to mix and then ice pellets with a dusting of snow, so things were slick this morning but not too bad on the side roads. I stayed off the highway. I think only 3 of 17 people in my work area are here.

Yea, I know what you mean. We just put in a huge home theater system and I was watching Band of Brothers. In one of the first episodes, the paratroopers hear the incoming 16" shells from the US Navy battleships.
Holy cow, I just about jumped of my sofa to seek shelter. The surround sound system blew my mind. |

They'll get theirs in July and August. Not really, I moved out here for the heat. I had a job for 8 years where we welded steel in an open shop. It got to 100deg in there by April and 120deg by July. it made the drive home in the convertible sweet. |
