Winter snow-Drive to Midway Airport means getting hit by a Plane!!




I am sitting here at the local Barns and Noble Bookstore in Racine enjoying a nice cup of "Christmas Blend Coffee" and watching the snow come down.....a window seat in this store is hard to come by usually, but tonight it seems I have the whole store pretty much to myself except for a few other brave souls that are trouncing out in the little snow storm we are currently experiencing....there is about 4 inches on the ground and it is still coming down pretty heavily.

In a few minutes, I will have to go outside to brush off the flakes from my truck and warm that up.
But for now I am inside, enjoying the view, the coffee and the "Wifi Connection" that I have come to very much enjoy in this bookstore....esp. in the winter.

Intersting stories in the news....

A plane comes down at Midway Airport in Chicago and slides off the runway and hits a car on the street...next to the airport....

Ouch!!! And they were probably trying to drive carefully in the snow...."oops..honey...I think that vehicle is coming too close to us...it looks like a plane.....what the .......???" I can just imagine.
According to the news story above, someone from that car is in serious condition. All kidding aside, my prayers are with them.....

And then there is a man with Wisconsin connections who gets shot dead while "supossedly" saying he has a bomb while running down the aisleway of a jetliner........too weird.

I feel sorry for him and his wife and all the others that had to endure this tragedy unfold.

Well that is about it for tonight. I am going to go out to brush off some snow and then try to find a bite to eat somewhere before heading home and contemplating a day of work on friday after having had two wonderfull days off in a row.

Happy Friday to all.......
