Re: Wiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Outstanding! Lovely too.
And I will show him when he gets home from school - CPS is not having a snow day today.
I agree re. the snow-blower. I remember shoveling out an entire alley with a couple of other guys after the blizzard of 79. If you have a good ticker you will be OK and it is good exercise.

Also gave ya a good reason to go a 1/4 of a block... |

I've noticed that fewer folks seem to be keeling over when shoveling snow - maybe it is just my imagination.

We got a good 10-12 inches down here in Champaign in some spots. The blowing snow has really been relocating so some spots it only looks like about 6 inches while other areas about two feet!!
I was out at the airport today and it was really pilled big time! They did a descent job cleaning pathwaths on campus but fortunately I dont have classes on friday :-P I know ISU was canceled today and all the high school but all classes were on here. Oh well.
Hope everyone up north can dig out just fine!
