I have seen snow a couple times in my life. Don't miss it as much as you would think,

Bang, how was your trip? You came home and went straight to hunting? Must have been a good trip!?

This is what a coating looks like here:



Got about 10" and they were only calling for a coating. I almost got stuck in it. I was heading out to go Christmas shopping. It was not that bad and since they were not calling for a huge amount, I figured I would still go out. I got down the road and it turned into whiteout conditions. A fender bender happened right in front of me. I decided that Christmas shopping was no longer important and came home. It was probably one of the most nerve wracking drives I have ever taken.

The jet lag to India kicked my arse. In my younger days it had little effect when I was sent to Korea or the middle east. Age certainly made a difference in my case.

India was an eye opener as to how an emerging country handles itself. Malaysia was awesome. It shows what can be accomplished with forethought and business insight. Dubai is just plain decadent. The US can't even hold a candle to the decadence of unadulterated oil money.

Deer hunting here is mislabeled. I sit in a tree and pick which deer to shoot. There's no real hunting involved, just a harvest.

Up here in Illinois, our wazoos get the best of both worlds. We get to freeze them off in the winter and we sweat them off in the summer.

For all the snow Texans get...he most likely didn't own one, nor would any stores in the area even have them in stock to buy. It's very dangerous when your tires are not all season, 4 inches of snow is plenty to have everyone not be able to drive in it. Our lovely state has cold weather every year. We know to winterize our cars, and we know to keep equipment in the garage each year to move snow...they don't need to.
