-> I understand that most of the country has had some pretty nasty weather

-> yesterday afternoon but more is due in later this week. Beats snow tho.

We're about to get whomped with that.  Up to 8 inches.

-> Actually, popcorn isn't too bad unless it's something like carmel corn.
-> Regular popcorn is only 5 carbs/cup so you do better with that than
-> cookies. Yesterday, before leaving Savannah, we stopped at one of our

-> Steve had a shrimp/oyster one, I think also with cole slaw. We split a
-> piece of key lime pie for dessert.

Quite likely.  After last month I'll be eating more popcorn than cookies, 
hands down.  My brother in-law loves key lime pie.  I make one once in a 
while, when key limes are in season.

Mostly.  Sometimes not.  It depends on how dumb I get.

Exactly.  Add in an idjut not realizing that the all-wheel drive is not all 
wheel stop and proceed to a mess.
