No snow, but plenty of sever weather around here. Should be a stormy day today. Glad we don't have snow in May though.

Well, the good news is they'll have plenty of wind to go with it to make driving impossible. I hunt ducks up there and the wind never stops blowing

I am getting worried. Were supposed to go to Montana in a couple of weeks. If it's snowing I am not even going to attempt it. They don't salt the roads they put gravel on them and I am not going through that stuff.

This is the very reason I left Far-gone. 36 years of five-week summers with mosquito’s the size of Buick's made for an easy decision. Sunny and 86 here in Vegas. Life is Vettetacular!

Is it true that the ducks really have to fly backwards in the wind up there to avoid a QUACK UP?

I spent 3 years in Minot ND in the Air Force in the early seventies and my only ride was a '69 big block. It did okay for the most part. North Dakotans know how to drive the cold and snow. Zuti
