Gary and everyone else living in snow country,

On a serious note, everyone stay safe, warm, and use horsepower to move wet heavy snow. To all my friends in Alaska, I wish with all my heart you were getting this snow fall instead of the east coast.

And now, for a less-serious statement:

Today the wind blew off of the ocean and we had intermittent rain with high temps around 60 degrees F. Rough stuff for here in pelosiland. But hey, everyone knows that those of us who live in the Bay area are tough hombres. We can take the rough weather!

It's 60 degrees here in Vegas. I saw several parker people at the show.
I had forgotten how good a show this is.

If you guys would have come to the winter Antique & Sporting Arms Show in Las Vegas you wouldn't have these problems. Of course you might not get home from here any time soon!!

What a view!! supposed to get only 4" of snow here in Wheeling, but ended up with around 10". Trying to get ahold of my brother in Ashville, NC to see how bad it is there. Actually having a great day here. Woke up early and had apple pie/ vanilla ice cream and a pot of strong coffe for breakfast. Read a few chapters in That's Ruff( what a great book), then picked up the old guitar and spent a couple hours playing mostly James Taylor. The bird feeder is overwellmed, and they just sit there a foot away while refilling the feeders, just like my setters at feeding time. The driveway is shoveled and the snow appears to be over. Hope you all have weathered the storm. What great timing to leave for Vegas ,Chuck.

You're obviously not married Harold... or you have the best wife in the world.

Harold did you play going back to carolina? do you play any John Denver songs West Virginia? Good day to play and get lost in your thoughts if you know what I mean? I guess the song that best describes my life and my boys also is Cats in the cradle, just did not get to spend the time with my dad that I would have liked to, same for my boys very busy do not get to see them very often, think I will have them play that at my funeral!

Dean, I am and I do. I have wanted to bring her to one of the shoots, but someone has to take care of the dogs. She is athletic and a very good tennis player, can out shoot most guys at basketball, and a fair wing shot also. She enjoys eating and cooking wild game. Yes, I know, I out kicked my coverage as they say.
Gary, yeah I play Carolina , a lot of John Denver, and I love Harry Chapin, but don't play any of his songs--I did see him in concert before his tragic death at a very intimate concert setting.
Snow is over here now.
