Don't Mess with Florida?
Caught this on snopes.com this morning, Ammo Dump. I would like to congratulate these officers on a job well done.

Not Quite 8 Miles High.....
4 Days and Counting.....
Okay, I think I'm over the trauma, now I can talk about it. I experienced what many people in the Rocky Mountain area are going through right now...... Airline cancellations. Luckily I made it safely, and made it to my destination of Reno, NV. My journey started Monday with me driving halfway to Albuquerque because the weather report was saying that New Mexico was going to get slammed by a winter storm. I soon learned how big of a relative term that is. Here's the rundown.
TUESDAY
I beat the storm in, park the truck at the hotel, shuttled into the airport, and cleared the hurdles to make it to the terminal, where I wait 6 hours to be finally told that the 6 measly inches of snow has befuddled the fine citizens of Albuquerque, and they shut the whole town down, including the airport. I ended up scrambling, and thanks to Frontier Airlines I get another flight booked for the next day with American West with has a Phoenix connection instead of Denver (this plays a major role later), and snagged the last room at the Holiday Inn Express, where my truck was residing, and even lost and recovered my cell phone. I am figuring I have used up all my luck, and find a bite to eat and hide from the world.
WEDNESDAY
Flight leaves Albuquerque at noon, and I originally schedule a shuttle for 10:00. After a night's rest, I decide I better get to the airport early, which was good because they were running an hour behind. I get to the airport (finally), and find the ticket counter at American West totally empty. Find out Denver is closed down due to the massive blizzard that dumped on them. WHEW! Go through the hurdles again, back in the terminal. A little over 2 hours, listening to cranky people, and a gate change later, the wheels on the plane I was strapped into left the ground, and we were Phoenix bound. From there, it was smooth sailing, and I kissed the carpet at Reno/Tahoe airport.
So now I sit in my childhood home, enjoying the end of my first day of vacation. If anyone happens to be sitting at DIA with their flight cancelled, I have 2, wait, make that 3 things to tell you:
#1- HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! NANNNER NANNER NANNER.
#2- Seriously, I feel your pain, the airline staff feels your pain (As the flight attendant on my flight from Phoenix to Reno told me). they are trying their best, so cut them some slack.
#3- Run to the nearest rent-a-car booth, get a car, and drive like crazy, because unless you are one of the lucky few, you ain't going to get a flight out by X-mas.
For the rest of ya, Happy X-mas and a Merry New Year if I don't see ya!

Happy Christmas!
Well, first of all, looks like Cutler and the Donkeys are going to win the football game. Now I have to hear about it tomorrow. Bedsides that, not much else going on. Playing a new online game which is a cross between risk and yahtzee called kdice, and I'm getting by butt kicked. No snow here, but sounds like snow back in ol' Nevada, which is where I'm heading Tuesday. I am taking two weeks off, and the big office party is tomorrow at lunch, meaning that work should be minimal tomorrow. Looking forward to going home, not excited yet, I don't think that'll happen until tomorrow. The flight home and back is a little crazy, getting tickets was a challenge. Plus I have to drive to Albuquerque, which is about 4 hours. Well, hope ya'lls holidays are good!

Why Do Bright Lights Make Me Sneeze?
Check out this post "Why Do Bright Lights Make Me Sneeze?". It was pretty intereting, kinda wird to think you body misfires signals. hmmm.
On another note, I know I have been quiet for the past month, I have been swamped at work, and the stress level has been high, and energy has been pretty low. Hopefully I will have the time and energy to write soon.
