Clincher Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 Happy New Year to you, too; and to one and all. Now, at last, the true new millenium is upon us, so happy next thousand years as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rcirilli Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 Yes, and my computer is still ticking away. I guess it's chips didn't recognize 2000 or 2001. <P>Here's hoping all DF'ers have a great year.<BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John N. Packard Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 How about "Touring is Fun in 2001!" as a theme to begin the new millenium?<P>jnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 I was sound asleep when 2001 arrived - don't drive anywhere New Years Eve - too many crazies out there! Woke up with snow all around and roads closed.<P>Didn't worry about the shifted Y2K - turned all my clocks back 100 years to prevent problems.<P>Happy New Year to all you DFers and John, I like your slogan. If our new AACA President does not pick it up, maybe we will make it the official DFers slogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted January 1, 2001 Share Posted January 1, 2001 Novaman, Don't you have anything better to do at midnight! I was thinking about who would be the first on for the year. SalG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted January 2, 2001 Author Share Posted January 2, 2001 Hey SalG, it's easy being the first on at midnight when you are working on your club's website when it rolls around. I was trying to get our car of the month changed over and was having a couple of problems. My computer has such a good memory that when i hit the refresh button for the page it showed what was there without the changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Novaman, You need to get out more. What happened to the steady girlfriend that you told me about at Hershey? SalG<BR>PS Just read your KK update, now I know why your computer was your New Years date.

Bill Stoneberg Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Ron,<BR>Snow ?? I thought you lived in Alabama ?<P>Are you far enough away from the coast so you all got hit by the crazy weather the south has been having ?<P>Stay warm.<P>Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbarn Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 A good indication of how well we handle snow down here is that with about 4 inches on the ground, all the schools and most government and businesses close down. We're in North Alabama, almost 300 miles from the coast, so we don't worry about those hurricanes.<P>But we've got a big woodpile, a great woodstove, and electricity is still connected, so we'll just get caught up on the computer work.

Guest Hal Davis (MODEL A HAL) Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Ron<P>I know what you mean. Most people (at least the ones who live where it snows every year) laugh at us Southerners when we say that schools and roads are closed for just a couple inches of snow. The thing they don't realize is that the closest thing to a snow plow that our local governments own is a backhoe. The closest thing to a salt truck we have is a dumptruck full of sand and the largest amount of salt most of has ever seen was at a church sponsored homemade ice cream social. In addition, most Southerners who weren't raised on a muddy dirt road, don't have a clue how to drive on snow if their life depended on it. It pays to stay at home under those conditions.<P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Most southern cities don't have snow handling equipment and suffer the consequences when a rare snow storm hits. Around metro DC we have all the necessary equipment, bad weather communications, etc. Does not seem to make a difference, because four inches of snow at the wrong time of day closes schools and puts your federal govt. employees on "liberal leave", which is an interesting concept.

Guest SalG (Sal Grenci) Posted January 2, 2001 Share Posted January 2, 2001 Hi all, I remember the first time I went to Key West as a kid getting a good chuckle at the the sight of the local garbage trucks with a sign about free snow plowing.
