NO ROOM AT THE INN

I just heard from a friend in Wilson....the Sportsmans Lodge and Das Borell Haus are full and 15 people just checked into the Midland. That was at 9:30 this evening. They are probably all full by now. I imagine the Garden Prairie Inn is full as well.

A friend from Manhattan wrote earlier this evening to say I-70 was closed from Junction City west. There was a fatality near Wilson...on I-70 I believe. It's treacherous on the roads.

I don't think we'll have our meeting in Great Bend in the morrning...maybe they can figure out a conference call for 11 people. That would be tricky. I hope everyone who is due here tomorrow night for a couple of meetings and dinner can make it. Visions of left overs are filling my head.

We need a big truck to blast through the snow. Brit will probably do it with his little bitty truck.

Jack is feeling much better after being very sick for 24 hours. We don't know what was wrong with him but he was one very sick guy. If it weren't for Tyler, I don't know how we could have managed.

It's time to go get under the covers and watch Dave Letterman. How lucky we are to have a warm place tonight. I know what it's like to be stranded on the highway in this kind of weather and it's no fun.
