Goooood morning! It’s the day after Christmas and we are all happy and back to work, right?
I woke up this morning and drove 2 hours home to make it to work today in snow covered roads and below zero temperatures. Nothing screams the holidays than passing a 2008 Cavalier with blowing snow across the road at 5 am.
It’s the little things like these that make it fun to live on the great plains.
Anyway, not a whole lot happened yesterday as college football took a break and a handful of games were played in the professional ranks. But, there were a few things that I can run by you today.
