I tried that, Ben. I was watching a race, dreaming I was on track, and almost ran over the wife's cat with the riding mower.

Pete, the cat does have nine lives.

Nascar wins are very hard to come by; especially on a riding lawn mower.

75º today, but it might rain this monday and drop down to low 60s.

We need the rain here. We're below our rainfall totals so far.

Carl, I'll try to send some warm stuff your way.

NH-Hottie, we had some snow here, back several months ago. About a 1/4 of an inch, or so.
