I'm actually almost sixteen, and yes I do drive.

I said everyone should be going slow. But according to Arfink ice on the highways is not much of a problem since they usually put tons of salt on the highways.

Have you ever driven in the south in the summer?
And salt on the road won't work once the temperature is under 17 degress, nor does it increase visibility, and most people going up there would be on the interstate, not a highway. And it certainly doesn't help airplanes.

....I am just having fun with you, you know.

I'm not going anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line in December.

Just kidding.... we'll probably retire up north knowing my husband.

Still, I kind of think December is a bad idea to plan trips like that. Holiday season and all. Lots of people have tighter budgets at that time of year.

[arfink]

Well, maybe December is an officially bad idea. When else would work for people? I'd considered doing something in the fall here, but people are always busy because of school starting up and also it's kinda short notice. Would anybody be willing/able to do October?

Or should I be looking at the spring? And competing with Pitt. Lol.

[/quote]I didn't think we were having another Pitt meetup. I thought the next one was at Papist's house.

Older than dirt. But, there's nothing like planning for the future. And by "retire" I mean "retire from the military" (which could be in 5 years or in 15) not "retire from working altogether."

Hasan was being a smartarse.

[arfink]

As usual.

[arfink]

I got some very important input. I think I should plan on doing a smaller MN meetup this fall, in October.

Pro: Flights are cheaper, snow will not be on the ground. Con: School kids are out of luck.

Of course a smaller informal thing would be much easier to plan and have than a 4 day mega party like the one that happened in Pitt.

Right now I am looking at the last week of October so we could hang out on Halloween.

I remember that, it was a blast.

We could pick something sooner in the month then...

I'm guessing you didn't have to get to work on Nov. 1.
