Yes, and it was real riot driving home from my relative's house on the
night of Christmas Day with a few inches of the white stuff already down
and single digit temperatures. I was gripping the wheel and taking a deep
breath
at every stop sign and light.  The two suburbs I had to drive through
had no plows or salting.  Guess they thought we'd just tough it out or
stay home.  Once I crossed the border line of Chicago, I breathed a
sigh of relief.  The streets were clear and salty.  One of da Mayor's
finest Street and Sanitation trucks even passed me by.

Five feet of snow?  If I stood on the ground, there'd only three inches
off the top my head in plain view. : -)

This post is also a test.  Have those @#$%&* robots kicked me off this list
again?
