MY theory is that Sunday brings out the people to stupid too be out of the house the rest of the week... and Christmas brings those people out during the rest of the week.

I came up with that theory after standing for 15 minutes at the post office behind the woman who wouldn't hang up her cell phone to talk to the guy at the counter and who couldn't udnerstand why she couldn't send her unwrapped, untaped box by priority mail, just because she couldn't remember her return address.

BTW, what part of S. Mississippi you in? I have family in the metropolis of Tylertown.

Doug, I am about 35 mins from Tylertown. Just outside Hattiesburg.

A BIG +1
I swear the Wal-Mart closest to my house employs someone to cut of motorcyclists as they pass by. It happens about once a week on my way home. I've grown to expect it.

Heated gear won't help when theres snow and ice on the roads....
We've had over 3'' of snow on the ground for over a week now and only 1 day above 22 for the last 2 weeks..
