Great news!  The ice storm wasn't as bad as predicted!  Yes!  I still will be stuck at home today, but tomorrow looks good for an outing.  Only a couple hundred (it's not only if you are them) lost power.  I am so thrilled I can not tell you.  I don't see how people up north face the winters.  I read once that the winter weather is one reason Stephen King stays in Maine, it keeps his fans away!  I guess if you grow up with tons of snow you get used to it.  Most of what we get in my neck of the woods seems to ice and you never get used to that.

Other great news.  We have Saddam Hussen!(Wonder how they are so sure it is him?)  If you agree with the war or not I think you will agree that this is a man that needs to be put away.  I can't believe some of the torture stories that have come out of Iraq.
