I notice no one is reading...
I think it might be because I am writing too much. too long again. i can't help myself. I am bored silly.
Anyway, let me tell you about our new year's eve. It was snowing, slush... bumper to bumper traffic going into the cities at 4 or so at night. The road was 5 inches of slush and people get uber stupid with the first sign of moisture. Well, we did witness many cars being towed out of the ditch, two slamming into guard rails, etc. etc.
Well, we had a reservation that I would have lost $75 had we not showed up... and as it turns out, I would rather die than give up $75. We persevered. All the stupid people in Minnesota were on 94. We couldn't go any faster... I kid you not... than 30 miles per hour. Seriously. I called the restaurant and asked if they could hold our reservation until 5:45. We were in Maple Grove at that time... so once again I called. We rescheduled as there were many cancellations for 6:30. So, I talked you dad into staying the course. It would be quiet on the way home, no cars... snow would stop... just let's go and enjoy the moment. He got frustrated and turned off of 694 to 169 and it was much better. We were on this guys tail,... and your dad swears he got pissed. He did drive a bit eratic, but I didn't think it was road rage. However, he did try to drive into our lane twice... so maybe he is right. So, your dad was scared to death until the guys headlights were not to be seen in our rear view mirror. We took a turn, didn' know if it was right or not, but it took us right to the valet parking of our restaurant.
It was seriously fancy. So, I was glad as it would be a lovely night out on New Year's Eve. Ramone took wonderful care of us... piano music in the bar, five course meal, a bottle of Italian Red and waiters coming and going like we were the only table in the place.
Lovely New Year's Eve.
Happy New Year.

It was a long hard drive. 2 1/2 hrs to drive to Mpls through slush and snow. I pulled out my big-ass truck and it was not a problem for me. But we had young people driving Toyotas and Passats in the snow and slush.Old people mixed with minivans of morons. We actually saw a mini van leave the freeway at 20 MPH and another auto hit the gard rail. all going 20 MPH. Morons driving slow in the left lane really compounded the storms problem. This one angry idiot who was driving a full boat Buick was truely mad at me for flicking my lights at him to move his ass out of the left lane. He came at Jan and I when I tried to pass him and I had to slam on my brakes to miss him by inches. I think that he ran off the freeway after that cuz I never saw him again.I was not real scared as someone would make you think. This dude was a poor black dude who had nothing to live for and I was mildly concerned. The meal was great and driving home a piece of cake cuz someone cleaned up the freeway.
"Minivans of Morons" is one of the best lines I have ever heard!! That is priceless! that is exactly my sub-conscious thoughts when I see packs of mini-vans on I-5 out here in the west. Excellent Cowboy, excellent....
Hey Jan, glad you had a wonderful New Year's. That restaurant looks very nice. All the best in 2007 from ML!!
If I were a monkey I'd throw poo at you for soliciting pity-whoops, I mean comments from people.
