"Jeet yet?"
"No, Jew?"

We get a 1'-2' of snow we don't plow the roads and we still take the bus to school

It is 40 below zero (celcius) we still go to school

School was only cancelled twice this year, once because the road was ice (even better the hockey rink ice!!!) and the second time because our POS buses wouldnt start...

Some of those were pretty good though Tommy :D

Well, either one would take you to my place. Fort Pitt is being worked on right now.

From the Fort Pitt tunnel, take the Banksville exit off of 279...

From the Liberty "Tube" stay on West Liberty until you reach Potomac....my road is off of that...

I know exactly where your at...sometimes I head out that way for work. I service some of the Ford (yuk) dealerships out that way (computers).

[jcv400ex]
