No disability insurance, or they're making it difficult?

Nah, she has it. Just the usual miles of red tape to get through first.

9.5 hours and 36 racks later I'm stuck in traffic and the weather is beyond horrible.

We were expecting some crazy thunderstorm and **** today but nope... nothing. Super mellow weather all day. Maybe you guys got it instead :p

Yeah. The big nasty storm isn't where I'm at but we're still getting hit pretty hard.

Since Saturday, I've been sick with some sort of extreme cold. My appetite disappeared, along with five pounds of weight. I was feeling well enough to get out for a hike, and was rewarded with sightings of two pileated woodpeckers and a barred owl, both pretty rare birds. When I'm hiking almost every day, I'll see one pileated every couple months and an owl every two or three years, so the jackpot was most certainly hit.

You must have heard.

:confused:

Don't you know about the bird?
