Actually, I’m not, for the most part.

I really like it in general. What I don’t like is that we aren’t completely prepared for weather like this, so the only thing we can do is hunker down and wait it out, which leads to mild cases of cabin fever and fear that we won’t be able to get Matt when he arrives on the 25th.

I’ve already seen that I need to get a snow shovel and a good pair of boots that can take getting wet. Since Ian is almost driving age, we’re thinking we should buy a truck and let him drive that. The Mercedes is useless in weather like this and the Mustang is too low profile to make it through big snow drifts.

Your Dad’s stretching the truth…we are hardly soaked. Parched is more like it…water is just sucking into the ground much like the dispatch of the wicked witch of the west by the same medium.

You, on the otherhand, are probably missing the generally balmy southland wright about now, huh?

A winter wonderland in the Pacific Northwest. Where’s the horse drawn sleighs and eight shinny reindeer pulling old St. Nick? I forgot , he doesn’t arrive until Christmas Eve. Rog, you need a snow plow for this stuff. Just have to curl up with a bowl full of popcorn and a good book and tough it out. As long as your warm and cozy the days will wheeze by. Love You, from rain soaked Southern California, Dad

I deny all knowledge of any past Gygaxian events or undertakings and have no idea what you are talking about. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to my mom’s basement.

>>If you donate money to help Hillary pay back her campaign debts, you are a fucktard, an Epsilon sub-moron, fit only to clean toilets at the local taco stand after an outbreak of Montezuma’s Revenge using only a toothbrush, a handy wipe, and a six ounce bottle of water.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

So she’s passing the hat already, eh? I’m sure there will be many contributors who can ill afford it. Barnum was right, there IS one born every minute!

Actually, Cheney came to intensely distrust the CIA because of the bullshit it pulled while he was SecDef. You really need to read the book. The last two chapters deal with the intelligence failures over Iraq and Tenet’s big mistake. Basically, there was a stream of defectors who knew what the CIA wanted to hear and basically lied.

I suspect that if it were solely up to Cheney, assumptions about Iraq might have been a bit different.
