Ice storm!

Freezing rain has been coming down all day here in Iowa City. We've

No one is flying. No one is driving. Most areas have no power. (We
still do, thankfully!)

Crazy.... And they're talking about 6 - 10 inches of snow tomorrow!

Sorry to heretywr.....whoops! Sory about that! Just spilled some of my
suntan oil on the keyboard! Doh! ;-)
Seriously though, got baked red raw all over my back building a
trampoline for the kids yesterday!

Rereading your post, I notice you failed to include an invite. That's just
not right!

I'm in Australia! That means an open invite! You know! "Where the
bloody hell are ya?"
The BBQ is always fired up, and the beers always cold!

Hey -- that's *my* line! I *knew* I liked you Ozzies for
something! :-)

We headed home after I started this thread last night, only to sit in
the dark. All of our camping gear sure came handy, especially those
"wind-up-dynamo" lights and radios that went on sale after the Year
2000 didn't become the disaster everyone predicted... ;-)

Came in at 5:30 this morning to start the clean up. The hotel looks
pretty much the way it did after the tornado last spring, except our
new fence wasn't demolished -- only broken where a big tree limb
smashed down on it.

I just got back from Menard's, where I bought a chain saw. There were
25 guys in line buying chain saws -- they'll be sold out in an
hour... We've got limbs the size of my leg down everywhere.
Thankfully, no one was hurt -- but a guest with a beautiful new Chevy
pickup truck learned that it wasn't wise to park under a tree in an
ice storm...

The good news is: They were wrong about the snow. It got too warm,
and it ended up just rain...thankfully. And, hey, our Governor has
declared our county in a "state of emergency"...

For those not from Illinois or Iowa, Mendard's is a hardware
store/home center.

Sounds like a great opportunity to make some money.

I'll load up an 18 wheeler with some of our local "undocumented immigrants"
and a bunch of chain saws and be up there tomorrow.

I do feel sorry for you. WX here in South Arkansas for Sunday is
supposed to be PC and 63 degrees.
