    Wonderful day. Can’t see across the street … I think the other side is still there, but REAL hot dogs for lunch for a change instead of that cafeteria food where they don’t know how to boil a good hot dog! icon_smile Check out Peter Whittle’s recounting of the discovery that today is a snow day: http://www.polemicandparadox.com/2010/02/it-is-snow-day.html It’s priceless. LOL

    Thanks ANB, it was a funny account of the nature of kids. Hope that hotdog was worth thrusting yourself across the snowy streets during a blizzard.
