We've been "blizzed"...and it is beautiful!
Out with James and Carl for part of it...finally reaching our destination only to find they were CLOSED due to the weather...lol...
Undaunted, we broke out "Plan B" (...that went over much better than Boehner's....) and stopped for Fajitas and Margaritas at a local Mexican restaurant for lunch!

Timothy Geithner (Treasury Secretary) minced no words with members of Congress yesterday letting them know if they actually stand idly by and let this happen they will be the very first to "feel the pain" of the rocks below as
Federal workers reinvestments would be the initial casualty.
