Good morning I hear the wind and rain but at least so far in my neck of the woods it isn't as bad as expected. Knock wood

It's still hanging out up here--gross. Plus it kicked up the temperature, too.
Amen. There is at least an upside to the wind, warmth.

Not anymore.
It used to be here from october to february every week on the wednesday (except the days it did the Panama Canal ones).
But then, there was a robbery in a tour group which had DCL visitors (armed guys with big guns) and DCL decided to be more cautious.

The ones I heard of are Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The thought is Austin will win because of the lifestyle for the young and a criteria also for Higher Education.
While Chicago has NorthWestern University and University of Chicago and lots of young draws, dang it is cold. Then again they built in Seattle and I don't want to live there either.

Maybe it is a retriever thing. Both my Golden's and Walt carried their own leashes. I'd nab them whenever it got to congested or Pups or little ones were too close as parents rightfully didn't know them. Now my Shepard, if I gave her the leash she would have said WooHoo see ya in a few hours or so.

January 2nd ?#&$*@ Seriously? How did the EKG look??? Echo's are a piece of cake at least. One would think if Primary thought it was serious a week for an Echo and over 2 months to speak to a Cardio Doc? Dear Lord. I guess the way around it is to land in the ER room and they do all that in a few hours.
Jimmney Crickets already!

Yep, that's what I figured...the usual suspects.
And yes, the higher education and lifestyle aspects are here. But again, especially depending on where in the area they would want to put it, our transportation is seriously lacking.
It's possible that those, with incredibly proper planning, improvements could all coincide to make it all happen properly, but, some of our transportation fiascos surely make it seem improbable.
They just went MILLIONS of dollars over and three years past predicted completion date to add one lousy toll lane going north and one lousy one going south on a major, heavily-traveled highway just west of downtown. Granted, they had to do a little tunneling, but, it certainly wasn't even remotely close to anything approaching major stuff. Some of the excuses from the company..,
"The Rock was harder than we thought (yep, rock is, generally, hard
), the weather, blah, blah, blah. It's not impossible (especially, if they finally found a competent company to build the roads, infrastructure, but, sooo many things would hafta' align, and there is sooo much tough competition out there, that it seems like a very slim chance for us, IMO.

Well it did take a while for Mrs. and @Mr Ferret 88 with the airline issues and then the side trip to Bermuda. Ugh.

Me, one they wattle it down from all those proposals that have the transit, Universities and lifestyle they are looking for what they are really likely looking for who puts up the most attractive TIF proposal.
