I just got in from spraying cooking oil on the weather stripping of the car door so that I'll be able to open it in the morning if it freezes.

Good one! Perhaps we should have an IOW/Darwin party somewhere next summer.

I don't know about that, Frank. I've been to a couple of tracks and met a few IOW members that would leave Darwin wondering "Maybe I ought to rethink that whole 'evolution" thing."

I17 north of Sedona to Flagstaff remained closed this morning after a tractor trailer over turned yesterday leaving motorists stranded for hours. While we got about an inch of rain here in the Phoenix area the higher elevations of AZ got two feet of snow.

The clean up is complete and i got away easy this time. First off i got a ride to work cause i had about a 3 foot high bank at the end of the driveway from the plow. Then my neighbor who has the blower attachment on his riding mower cleaned up most of our mess while i was at work, obviously he didn't go to work today. It was nasty this morning, drifting snow, schools closed and lots of people didn't make it to work. As of 10am this morning we had a 12" foot of snow!
