Hey, Jimi, take it easy on her! Remember the two major handicaps that she is functioning under ... a mere female .. and blond ...

BUT she is rather cute ... And she does a reasonable job of keeping Deej in line ...

Chuck, who is going to hide now

That is the road right before you turn into our subdivision. We had to detour around it. Yes Linda, no one I know has ever seen ice this bad. We got 1 1/2 to 2 inches and it just took everything down. So maybe every 200 years?
