If I was home instead of freezing my butt off in MinneSNOWta, I'd take you out for some Gene and Judes.
0F and 10" of snow.

It's a long story.
The Reader's Digest version is that I got tagged to be a 'Project Manager' to oversee some equipment we're having built. Our sorry 'Mechanical Engineer' was supposed to do it but he quit and our GM said "You're it. No tag backs". No pay increase, either.

I was blessed with and empty seat from Boston to Dallas. Then a nice packed ride to Tulsa.
My favorite boots had to be retired. Holes worn through the soles.

One last cold hard fact
Got home last nite at about 130 in the morning. No drama, just a late full flight back to San Antonio. The pilot was a chatty one (which I like when they tell us stuff) . He said the flight was to be a bit longer because of the 157mph jet stream we would encounter and would be some turbulence as was normal with winter time flights. Also there was no temperature at ohare (
