I've got a coworker that got a 24" laker at chambers 2 weekends ago.

You can walk, but it's a bit of a hike. Depends on the snow

True!  But my gubmint funding pays for my experiments that are kinda hard to stop in the middle!   

But I do have lots of sick days piled up...maybe I'll get "the flu" next week... ;D
