Very strange. Needless to say the local Starbucks had a line out the door as people were trying to get a warm beverage to "defrost". >>>>>> Bill Hi Bill, The weather has been....bizarre to say the least. After the record rains of last year, I thought we had seen it all, but wrong. We are still being poured on. There was ICE on the water buckets this morning, and going from here to Victor valley through the treacherous pass..... fo' get about it. Our van is not outfitted for this frozen weather, and the risk to life and limb....NOT worth it. Anyone knows that has driven the I -15 on a GOOD day, knows it can be scary with the semi trucks and the hills and speeds....aaaack....now add wild weather. Our clients , to their mutual wisdom , said " Thank you, but no" and we stayed home...cold, rainy , cloudy, icky. I feel terrible for the judges that had to be there, and our profound apologies for not being able to make the trip. In their infinite wisdom, I am sure they would totally understand. Stay warm Kathy in "sunny" So Ca WEBSITE UPDATED: Mar 12, 2006~ PUPDATED PICS! _http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com_ (http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com/) VICTORY GSDs, There Is Something In A Name ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
