Watching the weather as well. At first I was pissed because it looks like another week I won’t get to ride outside, but now I am just concerned that I won’t even be able to get home.

the forecast for Richmond keeps flip flopping on when the snow of going to start. I just hope the flights don’t all get canceled on Friday. If I get stuck in New York I am crashing at Phrantics.
Back in 1986, there was a miniseries called "Fresno", which parodied all the primetime soap operas that were all the rage then - Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, etc. The opening scene of the first episode showed the Spanish arriving in California, and their scouts returning from all over with the things they'd found, and their leader keeps being amazed at how wokderful everything is. Then one of the scouts gives him a bunch of grapes, which he tastes, and spits out in disgust - "The grapes taste like fresno!"
