Keep it up.<BR/><BR/>First was the six or eight year-old image you retrieved for me, of my small truck in a snow-filled ditch - facing backwards no less. I was carefully making my twenty-mile plus way into work on ice-covered back roads when I hit a shady patch and lost control. I was only going twenty and there wasn't a car or house nearby, so it was a gentle landing. But it took me a couple of hours to hitch a ride into work. When I arrived, there was an email waiting for me, sent by my local backwoods mechanic, who apparently recognized my truck while driving by. It simply read: "Yeah, those light-a** Toyota trucks aren't worth a flip on the ice, are they?"<BR/><BR/>The second laugh came at the end after the missed forecast: "It would be nice to have a job where you could be so wrong so often and still continue getting paid." It seems to me that the only other job to compare is that of a political pundit. Let's see how much 'snow' they have to dig themselves out of after Tuesday's primaries are over.jack-of-all-thumbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890408896745938386noreply@blogger.com
