Geri was in Charlotte last weekend and there was a good bit of ice on the sidewalks and she slipped on the sidewalk at the mall next to the hotel. I was going to go with her but the flight back showed overbooked by a bunch but it ended up having 20 empty seats on it... But she has the same trip this week so we are going to rent a car sat morning and drive around and check the area out. She has a couple houses she wants to stop and look at. Luckily the doubletree suites has a Hertz counter in the lobby. Only bad part is that rental cars are twice what I pay at most any other city. Their rental car taxes must be quite high. Oh and we were 82* yesterday and the day before was very nice at 72* and 20% humidity. We only see air that dry maybe 6 days in the year. Was perfect all day. Course back to 60s today and 86% humidity. And for varmits... I was siting outside last night and the gopher was clearing dirt out of a hole about 3' away from the chair. I wish I had a .22 at that time. They are getting really bad lately doing allot of damage. They do nothing beneficial at all.
