Oh... what they *don't* know...

Spare us the Northern attitude that they are the only ones who can
drive in the snow:

Hello? Doing the good drugs today Karl? Where did I ever even hint at the
mention of driving in the snow? Look again at the context of the post I
replied to. It had nothing at all to do with driving. The brief discussion
was about the amount of snowfall in a yard.

Besides surviving a Winter Survival course in Garmisch, Germany, some
of us from the Gulf Coast were forced to drive daily, to an
active-in-the-air-defensive of Western Europe Missile site, through
some blizzards that would make even you Yankee snow macho's think
twice.

I'm sure you did - I know that conditions elsewhere are equally or more
demanding. But then again - you really don't know what we yankees go
through, do you? But again - that wasn't what this conversation was about.


I think you completely misunderstood what I was saying. Look at your
comments and my following comment again and I think you'll see it in a
different context
