  • Can anybody identify this car? Thought to be at the Walter Mitty Race at Road Atlanta in 2004. Notice that the trailer has Alabama tags. I'd really like to include it (and more photos) in the Registry.

  • Still digging out today.
    • Made a pretty good dent in the driveway snow before a truck with four young guys stopped.
    • Offered to complete the shoveling and dig out one of my cars "for a fair price".
    • Since I'm not as spry as I once was, I agreed and they completed the task.
    • Now all I need to deal with is the 12" MORE of snow we're supposed to have on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
    • Neighbors on the cross street got tired of waiting for the plow and about 12 of them dug the street out themselves.

  • Digging out a little today.
    • Made a path from the garage onto the front deck and to the street.
    • This snow is HEAVY and sticks to the shovel. A real PITA to move.
    • May take a while until I'm dug out, but I have nowhere to go anyway, so I'm in no hurry
