My cardiologist would have shot me had he saw me digging out the 96GTS. I
left work about 2:00 pm and came home down rt82. The 96 did fine but there
were some other fools in 4wds of over the side.

always in a huge hurry to prove how stupid they can really be.

It's damn near perfect right now in central FL, you don't sweat outdoors
unless you do some heavy work.

Out here in California it went from Winter to Summer.
There was no Spring.

It hit a warm of 40 today, outside of Philly. Enough to let me clear the
driveway. The walk to the front door is invisible under the ice, and it'll
stay that way until Wednesday, when we're supposed to climb back to the 60s.

My son's going to UCF in the fall, so I expect to be in your
neighborhood every so often.
