No **** man, plus they closed work so I'm out two days worth of work. Good thing school was cancelled though, I cant complain about that. They better not reopen it for monday or tuesday. On a sucky note, stores are closed and UPS isnt delivering so I cant work on my car which I have plenty of time for right now.

I left, and am not looking forward to the drive back. They are talking about going back by zip code. I think, it doesn't matter how they do it, that alot of people are going to just say screw it and come back anyway right away.

I can honestly say, this is the second time I've been glad I moved from Houston.

The first time was when I seen all the damn exotics up here. I went from South Houston to North Dallas, so that had alot to do with it.

LOL, yea, I passed a yellow Gallardo on my way home from my brother's varsity football game last nite. The sad thing is, I'm used to seeing that car in that part of my town.
