Wow, quiet day in the breakroom. I promised I would post this morning but I forgot that when I am on vacation my time belongs to the DW not me. Nasty storms went a few miles north of us last night - hail and bad winds spared us. Thanks all for concerns last night.

Stuck here at home cause the ONLY route to Anchorage is closed due to a, um, crime. Not complaining too much, it's just that it's payday and I won't get my check until next Wednesday now.
