Thank you, I learned something too.

Here's wishing Mr and Mrs Hawk and the eyases safe passage to and from the wilds of Ohio!

Gathering up the Mrs and the little hawks and heading to Sandusky bright and early tomorrow for a little R&R at the Great Wolf Lodge.....also, since my wife is a "Christmas Story" fan, we are going to swing by the actual house and take the tour....it is in Cleveland.

Yep. Grew up on a farm not too far from Cleveland.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

I've heard about those Great Wolf Lodges.  Sounds like a ton of fun.  Enjoy, and travel safe!
