is it crowded in Louisville?

I don't know left yesterday there was two yesterday had a 10 pound box going to Pittsburgh through the storm didn't make it at least not directly oh the pain the pain worst trip ever because of the storm. It took me five hours to go 140 miles before having to shut down. Which is something I've never had to do before :( I knew I should've brought my ice skates this time out :/

I worked a good part of the day digging out, and getting our vehicles free. Ugh. The snow is not the problem, (tho the county plowed us in LOL..).. the problem is the shell of ice over everything. Scraping, and spraying ice melt on the cars, scraping more etc... the van is still in a shell, but I can open the doors and see out the windows now. Hopefully out in the morn.

Although it's hard to fathom global warming when you're freezing your Butt off, The average temperature of the earth continues to rise each year as it has for many years. I just don't agree with him on the major causes of it. I think a little Obama thinking needs to be put in place, let's spread the heat around :)
