So we got dumped on bigtime, I'm not sure how many inches total but its well over 28 inches. This of course does present a problem to me being as I deliver pizzas for a living. I had to scramble and get a loan from my mother (thanks mom) to buy a 4x4 so I could still work. I had a Dodge Durango before gas prices went apeshit, but I sold it when gas was over 4$ a gallon. I called in a favor with Cliff over at "Cliff's Autos" and picked up a  1987 Dodge RamCharger for 1256$ after tax , etc. It doesn't really run great, and its passenger side window won't roll up all the way , the paint is pretty trashed and all but one of the blinker/brakelight lenses are broken. But she gets around in the snow like a champ and honestly, I've always wanted a RamCharger sine I was a kid.

My dad used to drive a 1980ish Dodge Ram and it regularly traveled country roads covered in snow or deep with mud. I'm not saying it didn't get stuck sometimes, it surely did. Dad was a logger and he could get us unstuck from just about anything. I still miss the guy everyday, I would like to think he would like my new rig. My mother sold dad's pickup before we moved to Oklahoma back in 1989. It was big red and silver and had the spare tire mounted on the front end. It was a full bed 3/4ton club cab with four wheel drive and kickass 360 V8. Ah dad's glorious truck.

Speaking of snow and Christmas time, I have a suggestion for all the folks snowed in and unable to travel to loved ones for the holidays. If you look around outside you will probably see that your neighbors are often also in the same predicament. Perhaps you could go talk to them and ask them if they have anyplace to go for Christmas? I have two elderly gals that are stuck by me and I've invited both of them over for dinner, since my in laws won't be able to make it. I am really blessed to have a warm house and food enough to share with my neighbors. I hope you will do the same if you have the means. I'll post some of the funny crazy stuff that has happened over the last year later on. Maybe if your lucky I'll even tell you about the UFO my wife and kids saw. Happy holidays!
