Evenin’ Gents? Well, here’s an option that has promise and is not too spendy either.
Corin - GH 1024 departs your fair city at 10:15 AM.
G’nad - GH arrives your fair city 11:50 AM.
Elapsed Time: 1D 2H 55M; not too bad, lot faster than driving.
Transfers in Washington DC, Pittsburgh PA and St.Louis MO Cost $150.
G’nad: How far is the Lazy Lee’s One Stop from your 20?
that was wierd.
Do I remember?
Heck, 2J’s been eating duct tape soup for the last 8 years...
*holds Bear up to the mirror*
Lazy Lee’s is right off’n the 44... Be about 15 miles...
Tell Jr tuh pack lite... all he needs is jeans, t-shirts, a tool belt, measurin’ tape, and no attitude... well, he can bring one, but it won’t take long fer me and Brian tuh break him...
lemme get this straight... yer happy tuh be payin’ an insurance premium because he’s home, that you wouldn’t havetuh if’n yuh gave him the boot?... Idon’tgetit...
As long as Luke is a minor, my family premium is the same whether Jr’s here or not.
Sounds like boot camp.
Well, that’s not far, seeing how he’ll likely be stiff from travelin’, the walk will unkink the muscles.
I’ll send him my extra tool belt c/o theridge. It’s already well broken in and salty.
Yeah, out the other side of the state... just what Iowa needs right now. Those poor families.
A very sad story, right before camp time too.
Oh gosh!! Where is this in relation to where we were? We were in Sioux City for a time for a concert, the Council Bluffs is where we spent the night.
We’ve been working so hard on a pen for the chicks that we haven’t watched any live TV at all!
I’m not really familiar with the geography of that side of the state, but yes, that was basically where you were.
:(
Iowa is not having a good stretch of luck with the weather. Tornados, floods, more tornados.
I haven’t had the TV news on either and my local paper isn’t covering much of Iowa. I need to get the office configured with a TV but have to get a cable splitter to do so. Currently I’m home office bound since Jr. has the truck at work.
It’s supposed to cool down into the low 90s today. Send some rain this way. There’s not much in our forecast.
I remember the satellite pictures of the Mississippi back in 1993. I can’t imagine it being worse.
Ugh... sorry, you don’t know what it’s like here. It’s worse than we thought it was going to be. All the bridges are closed - the town is literally cut in half. We’re losing water. I’m not sure we’ll keep power. Internet? Who knows. Most companies are sending people home, at least those who live on the far side of the river and will need three or four hours to get home, possibly.
Downtown is under water. A railroad bridge collapsed and took the twenty cars full of rocks that were put on it to hold it in place, into the river. We’re flooding what they call the 500 year flood zone - we’ve never flooded the 100 year flood zone before. And it may be worse than that. We’ve got inches of rain in the last few hours making for flash floods.
Take a look at some of the pictures here - http://www.gazetteonline.com/ - and note that most of them were from yesterday. The river has gone up literally feet since then. Pictures of places with three inches of water are covered in five feet today.
Amazing. Are you guys pretty secure at home (even if you lose power and stuff). I mean any danger of flooding?
It’s ~still~ raining?
Stay safe, and as dry as possible.
