FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I have no snow, and the occasional peek of sun. It is very cold, but little wind.

Weather forecast says it is snowing in my town! Predicts severe snowstorm. :confused::confused:

Just wait until the ground and ambient temperature drop - you can go from nothing to SOMETHING in an hour. Given my looks at the radar, y'all are in for some fun this evening.

Similarly, if any Boxer has thought about being a travel blogger I am more than happy to host for you. Copa helped me beta test the kinks out of my server (thanks CM) and the intent is to eventually link the blogs under one travel site umbrella.

Drop me a note if you are interested.

Thanks for being patient during those days of performance issues. It helped me on some of my company stuff as well, so I owe you a beer.

Anytime, sir. Despite that I was too tired and in too much pain to finish off the StarDo journalism (as almost all of the non-official blogs were) it was a fun experience to learn something new and document the trip.

A Chevy Equinox. The 32mpg and heated seats:D sent me over the edge. I had relatively good luck with their Trailblazers in the past, and the CR-V I've had for the past 5 years has always been kind of blah to me.

I'm available to rent on an hourly basis ..... very reasonable rates to my fellow Boxsters...:D

Is the tax credit for a new car a credit or a deduction? Makes a difference. If it's a full credit against tax owed, then I'm off to buy a new car for MissTeenBrit rather than a second hand one!!! If it's just a deduction, it probably wouldn't be worth it because I'd be looking at the cheapest new car on the market.

There was a woman in my office who immersed her camo uniforms in liquid starch...I never went that far but I always managed to look squared away.

Just never mastered the art unfortunately. I couldn't do it very well in ROTC in college either. :( I would expect nothing less that you being squared away. :-:

Is any milestone truly minor? To quote the the Otter, "We post for the betterment of all.":-::D

I hate ironing, but I like the sense of satisfaction when it is done. The instant gratification of seeing wrinkles disappear before one's eyes is quite nice. But, I procrastinate until the ironing basket is full and then :rolleyes: and do it.

I don't think it's going to be nearly as bad for us in central jersey than originally forecast.
