Jack, After your snow storm reports, and hearing it on the national news, I wondered when, or if you'd get out of Ohio! Glad you made it! Sitting inside, with two shirts and a fleece vest on I'm jealous! We got 7" the day after Christmas, and I got home to a driveway full of snow and a broken snowblower. I would really like to be in Florida now!
