I guess there will be more news to come, not necessarily a lull.

Gee, I thought Ko-skin-em said to prepare as you would for a hurricane or winter storm. Do we need Congressional workshops to figure out how to do this? Maybe, there is more here than meets the eye, so to speak.

Bought my snow shovel, salt for the icy spots and changed the oil in the snowblower. Only thing left is snow tires on the vehicles and I should be well prepared for y2k.

Cantbelieveit, Make sure you have an extra set of mittens and know where you stashed your snowboots from this winter...

If I'm going to be stuck inside for a while, I better pick up a few more VCR tapes and frozen dinners.

OK.I'll play BI Pollyanna and say it:

"This could be where the rubber really meets the road."

Please do NOT confuse me with someone who actually believes the above statement. It's something like a 17 year old looking longingly at either Carmen Electra or a Frazetta poster. Hope springs eternal.....
