Wow...Sioux City had a really shitty winter last year. This year isn't as bad, but it is still shitty anyway!!!! We have been in the middle of bad weather, however everyone else around us is worse. My nephew in Tulsa, OK., told me they just got 15" of snow...they'll be shut down for a good week as they don't have very many plows.

Last year we a federal inspection agency at work...we had snow everywhere and had an ice storm on top of it. I had to make it to work...blocks away so I went out and watched all the neighbors trying to drive on our street and slide to the curb not going anywhere. So, in my infinate whisdom I decided to walk. Well, I could not walk up any hill or even on the parking because of the amount of snow and ice so I went a few blocks out of my way on flat ground...cars were sliding over curbs and I almost got hit 3 times and had to dive twice.

Ok, so a few weeks ago it was God awful cold. My wife slid and hit a curb and bent the rim on one of our wheels. She didn't think about it and the next morning...wind chill 21 below I noticed the tire really needed air...so I went to a Kum and Go to get air for her tire...guess what? I put a cone out so nobody would run me over and laid on the ground and attempted to put air in the tire. Some dumb-ass drove over the cone and almost ran me over. After I told this half-wit what I thought I realized the unit did not work so I drove to a full service gas station (not many left) and got air and got my rim actually fixed. After all that I realized my wife has an air pump in the trunk...yikes, am I a nit-wit or what!

It looks the entire country has bad weather...many have it worse than we do...so for all you 79ers...be safe and I hope you all are safe and well!!!

Friends,

Matt
