Just as long as you get that snow stuff out of the way before the Colorado Regional this year. I'm not sure how sane I will be if I'm driving up there from Albuquerque after giving up on getting a direct flight from Phoenix again. Good thing that I had an AWESOME FTAA and crew (and Andy Baker to make some phone calls for help from his FTAs) that got the field built while I was still on the road south of Colorado Springs waiting for the freeway to open up again. That blizzard was nuts!

The event was amazing though and I have a good story to tell about my first solo FTA assignment!

How, er, apt. I certainly can drive in 4" of snow - I've been doing it all my life - but all the other idiots here in Atlanta can't. So either I risk getting walloped by some yahoo who thinks 4-wheel-drive includes 4-wheel-stop, or stuck behind some yahoo who thinks slowing down going up a hill is a good idea. And oh do we have hills....

Then there's the ice. Georgia doesn't have snow plows, and they are awful darned proud of their 30 (!) salt trucks. For the whole state.

I'm staying home with a 6-pack. Of Dew, of course.
