I would like to, but I'm taking my 14 year old cousin to the last Cowboys game at Texas Stadium, and I have to bring him back home before I head on out to San Antonio. He wants to go to the show too, but my aunt has other plans for him on Sunday afternoon.

Woot! I'm on the road now. About 80miles to go. It hasn't rained on us yet. I hope it holds out. I absolutely hate cleaning a car that's been out in the rain.

+1 on it being cold. I was looking into outdoor propane heaters, but Home Depot wanted around $300 for them. A bit steep for my budget. I brought the thermal long johns instead.

No rain in the forecast. That's always good news!

It started to sprinkle here but stopped. I think the rain will hold out. I don't know what I'm gonna do to stay warm. I don't own anything but a light jacket. Cold weather colthing isn't needed in the Middle East.

It's going to be 30 degrees in the morning and only a high of 50 in the day, with gustu winds. Double up on your socks and stop to buy a jacket or some type of long johns at Walmart. You're going to suffer bad all day if you don't...

In a nutshell, the show was cancelled due to windy conditions. What relevance this has to the "show" portion of IFO, I have no idea. At this moment, words can not describe the amount of disgust I have for IFO and it's organizers. I won't even go into detail on the unprofessionalism of the email response I received, in response to a well written humble request I made a couple weeks ago.

I'll write out a full comment on Tuesday. For now, I'm just going to bite my tongue and refrain from commenting...
