Yes it's unfair that working gets in the way of things far more important - like reading;)

Just reminding everyone to put your totals in tonight or as early as you can tomorrow morning. Please make sure it's your grand total for the three days - (saves me having to find them then add them up;))

I did enjoy it Brenda. A lot of action for a two day time period!
I spent 3 mo in Washington DC over winter about 20y ago and we had a very snowy Christmas so I could relate to how the city grinds to a halt when they get heavy snow there.
