Local TV and the National Weather Service had been talking up a possible serious ice storm for the weekend of January 14th and 15th. Of course our flight out was early in the morning on the 14th. I started to feel more confident that we’d be able to get out [...]
Took a couple trips in the last couple weeks. One to Montego Bay in Jamaica and a quick business trip to Manhattan, KS. How often does that happen? Return from Jamaica a little after midnight on Sunday morning and Manhattan, KS for business meetings at 10:00 am on Monday morning. [...]
