i thought a similar thing with Hurricane Katrina...

The weather channel kept saying what a disaster a hurricane hitting New Orleans would be... and i remember thinking to myself.. "wow... that would be kinda cool to see."

-- then it happened. I still don't forgive myself for ever thinking that.

..so be careful what you wish for!

Hey! Got any pics of that Road Runner incl engine bay?

That was my first ride in a muscle car when I was 13 or 14 and my neighbor "Tommy McK...." bought a new one when he returned from VN.

My first introduction to 2nd & 3rd gear scratch.

Just so it keeps going south of minnesota, I'm good.

(Parking lot at school. It's gotten bigger since then. Dead body was found back there too, but I won't get into that...)

Here is what St Louis is expecting, we're not used to this stuff. I live on the line between the 1" of ice and hevy ice and snow, just above the M in major ice.

From the perdiction they missed it. we only got about 1/4 of ice, 2" of sleet, and still waiting for the snow but only about 2 to 4" where I am ...between the blue and purple lines... I want the weather mans job.


but they did close I-70 between St. Louis and Kansas City for the day.
