Glad to hear the roads are clear, b/c I'm about to embark on a KC to Ohio to South Carolina and back the same way roadie. Grabbing the kids so I am psyched regardless of miles and gas prices. Forgot to mention I was in the great state of Alabama two weeks ago and was shocked that they took the posters of you down from all of the post offices. Must have bigger fish to fry or something.

My posters are down!?! That's bullshit. I don't handle being 'less wanted' very well.

Stay safe on trip, T. and have fun with the kids!
