Roger. My Subaru works well in the snow too. :-:
Not sure what's worse, making that drive or going Biden-style.

I don't know why Trustguy is worried about posting naked. At any given time there's about a 2 in 10 chance that I'm posting naked, and if I'm on the mobile site I am most likely in the bathroom.

Book and movie diverged very quickly but both were very good.

Sounds like an excellent opportunity for setting up a lawn chair, cooler of Belgian Ale, and camcorder. :-:

The scary thing about Lufkin is that it is the largest, "city" in the area. And I'm staying there on January 1, 2010. :eek:

Driving is far, far, worse than taking the train, IMO.

The interpretation I got from Hyatt (twice) was that NYE counts as 2009 - just like when one earns a FFN, the award is "earned" at the time of the second check in. So I'm checking in on the 1st and 2nd, when rates did indeed crater.

I heard from several that the movie was only very loosely based on the book. Makes sense as the original didn't have much mass appeal, IMO.

I, too, read only in transit it seems. I get 15 minutes in the morning and evening on the subway and as much as I can handle on planes.

That's basically what I'm going to do. I can't wait. Watching people act incompetently in the snow (usually transplanted Southerners and Westerners, in the case of DC) is a favorite pastime for someone who grew up in an area where eight inches of snow in one day is considered ho-hum. One flake of snow here and people cease to act rationally. It's only a matter of time before someone asks me to drive them somewhere this weekend because they are afraid of driving in the snow.

You see, most people have a worry box. The worry box is always full. Sometimes it may have lots of little worries in it; other times it may have one huge worry and a few other smaller worries to keep it full. But the worry box is always full.

I believe the same thing may apply to :rolleyes:, especially if you ask belynch. You may have removed this particular :rolleyes: from your :rolleyes: box, but something else will come along soon enough to fill it back up.

It is the :rolleyes: of things.

On the verge of purchasing an iPhone. Anyone want to talk me out of it? :p
