OK enough is enough

Before I get into the subject of this post, I must apologize for possibly misleading you in the last. Remember, etc. etc. I don't think it was the 3 amigos. That was "plethora". So . Dang, there's another one... I might as well take care of that one right now ... SO, So. Aren't you tired of me saying that? I have noticed that that means the same thing as "anyway". which I have already apologized for at least once. I now realize that a more sophisticated phrase would be, "in any event", or "in any case".. The point is; they all mean nothing, it's just my lame way of starting a sentence.. so... today during the periods when I did have time to think, I realized that the movie with etc. etc. etc. was the King and I.. So ... to give you a handle on it, I looked it up and found this post. Is the King and I a remake???? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_and_the_King_of_Siam

Back to my subject. The last post was about the west bidding farewell to snow loving Georgia. I guess it isn't ready to give her up yet, because it is following us home. Let's start the day at Starbucks. Notice the snow on the hood of our car in the reflection. This is a test for those who know Georgia. What is in the green cup?? I'll post the answer after I have 10 guesses on comments.

We started out for Hays Kansas as I told you in the last post. My assumption was that we would drop down from the "mile high city" and the snow would turn to rain and we would simply be driving through some rain all day. Wrong!!! From Denver to about Oakley, Kansas it was just NASTY. The picture here is from when I felt safe enough to take one hand off the wheel and snap a picture (not under the approval of Georgia). There was white out much of the way. In this picture, do you see the truck (that had just passed us doing about 80)?? It wasn't that the snow was so heavy, but it was horizontal. The strong wind was from the north and we were heading east (Head East; who can give me the significance of that?) so, anyway, in any event; when a truck would pass us, they would break the wind and it was a real b(ear) keeping on the road. (This is a different breaking of wind.) It wasn't fun at all. I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY MORE SNOW TIL NOVEMBER! (Then when I complained at check in, the girl at the desk said, "Oh, it's supposed to be here tonight and tomorrow". Someone may need to come and get the car after we fly the rest of the way home...

Back to the road. About Oakley, Kansas the snow disappeared and we got to see vast fields of winter wheat. Here is a picture, but I see that the camera focused on the hood of our vehicle, but you get the idea. No Snow.. Then we heard on the radio that I-70 had been closed where we were about 2 hours before. Here we are in a new Hampton Inn in Hays, Kansas, resting up and waiting to see what tomorrow brings.
