IIRC, that's how Worst Buy does it. Seems to do the trick.

We did that for Black Friday the last one I worked. Works really well when it's busy.

Driving in snow and ice is much more about the driver than the car they drive. The fact you can make it up there and the neighbor can't says more about you and him than it does your cars.
An idiot can get the best car stuck, and a good driver can get places in a terrible car for the conditions (within reason).
80 ft of driveway that doubles as a luge run. Up in in 8+ inches of snow like driving thru hot butter. The guy next door has a army grade Humvee that can't make it up my driveway in the same conditions as my Subaru.

I've driven terrible cars (rear wheel drive with light rear end) and great cars and I'd much rather drive a great car in bad conditions. Not even ****ing close.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #171: On Turkeys.
Crazy day yesterday. Shortly after I posted here yesterday morning, I saw a post on facebook from my mom, saying that she can't find one of her dogs (Zoey), with a picture of Zoey. I called her right away, and she said that the dogs ran off to the woods yesterday(Tuesday) afternoon, and only Gunner came back. We have about 800 acres of woods behind my parents house, and the dogs run back there all the time. My mom had been out all night looking for Zoey, and was going back out again. She broke down crying, saying that she thought Zoey was dead, and that she just hoped we found her so she could bury her in her garden. She was wreck, and my dad is out of town this week so she was alone. Those dogs are as close to being part of the family as a dog can be. The girl and I decided that we had to go down there and help my mom, she couldn't go through this alone. We drove down in the crappy weather, and started searching. We knew the area they were in, because it hadn't snowed down there in this storm, so we could follow Gunner's tracks back to the woods. We searched from about 11AM until dark, and found nothing. With my mom breaking down in tears many times, it was good we were there just because she needed a hug more than a few times. We got back in the house, and had given up hope, especially with the bitter cold coming in, and my mom finally got a call from someone saying they found Zoey. I got the phone from my mom (more tears, happy ones this time), got the address and we went to get her. The GPS in my truck said she was 11 miles away! We got to the farm, and the farmer that found her said he saw her sleeping in his corn crib, and when she saw him, she followed him back to his shop. He let her in, and gave her food and water, because she was in really rough shape, then called my mom's phone number which was on Zoey's tag. After my mom finally quit hugging Zoey, we checked her out and she had a very bad gash on her belly, so deep that I could see her stomach/intestines. We called the vet, and my mom and sister (she drove down from the cities too) took her to the vet. The vet said she'd be ok, but she has some serious muscle damage, but no internal damage. She got stitches, a drain, a cone, painkillers and a bunch of antibiotics, but the important thing is she was home with my mom last night, so it all ended up happy.
We don't now how she got that kind of injury, it looked like a puncture wound. We dont' think anyone did anything to her, it was probably just an accident. We think she probably got hurt, went into a kind of shock, and lost her sense of direction, and just kept walking/running in the wrong direction, thinking she was going home. Luckily that guy found her, and cared for her.

Yeah, I agree, but that doesn't mean that you can't drive terrible cars. It just isn't a very good experience.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #171: On Turkeys.
My normal one-hour commute was two hours today. People are scared to cross the MN River, it took a full hour to get from Farmington to the Mall of America, which is 16 miles. I got off the road there and got on the LRT train for the rest of the way. If Hgwy 77 was that bad, I-35W had to have been even worse because it always is. The intent was to be one of those rare days where I drive into work today because I have to shoot out early to meet with the priest for my mom's funeral. I'm hoping that I don't instantly combust when walking into the church.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #171: On Turkeys.
Yeah, it was a crazy day. We're just so happy that it ended well, because for most of the day we about 99% sure we wouldn't find her. It just wasn't in either of the dogs nature to be away from each other. They are brother/sister and inseparable, so when one came back without the other it was a bad sign.

Don't know yet if Jr is going to go to Burnsville to manage the JV squad or not. He didn't manage to find the coach before school this morning. It's looking like he'll be a student manager for the JV as they already have 2 for the Varsity.

Hopefully he can be in a position to manage at the varsity level I he doesn't make the team next year.
