I fucking can't believe this. Yes I can. The National Weather Service is now saying that the mid-Atlantic area COULD get a Major snow storm starting Thursday night and into Friday. I an flying out of BWI on Friday morning for the Skins game this weekend and you watch, I will get snowed in and not make it to the game. I will be so mad I will be spitting nails if that happens.  |

When I bought the plane tickets back in the summer, I turned to my wife and said "You watch, we will have a big snow storm the day I fly out." We both laughed. I am not laughing NOW!!!!! |

Not looking too good Dave. What time does your flight leave? I think you'll be delayed but you'll make it out!

we aint gonna get shit. last week i was told we were getting a blizzard and got a dusting. my new way of forecasting the weather is listen to the weather man and then go with the opposite.

My flight leaves at 10:10 am but I am guessing that won't happen. I will make it out to Pheonix for the GAME on time (if we don't get a blizzered like we did in "96) but their are alot of things planned for both Friday and Saturday night with the group that I don't want to miss out on. I plan on partying my ass off while I am out there, so I don't want the fucking snow to ruin that. You can't change Mother Nature, so wish me luck getting out of here. |

I will be thinking of y'all while I am out there while having a drink in my hand with my toes in the dessert sand. ;D I heard it is going to be sunny and in the low 70's out there this weekend. Hope I make it out there to enjoy it. ;D |

Of coarse, the weather people were RIGHT this time.
Bastards.
What a nightmare I had at BWI Friday morning.
I got up just before 4:00am so I will have extra time to do everything I needed to do to get to BWI on time.
Hit the road at 4:30am after clearing 5" of snow and sleet off my truck. The trip normaly takes 35 to 40 mins to travel from my house to BWI, but this time, it takes 1 hour and 20 mins, and I have 4 wheel drive.
Along the way, the snow and sleet changes to sleet and freezing rain. By the time I get to BWI, it is all rain and I have a ice coating on my truck about an inche thick.
I get inside BWI, get my tickets and go threw security and I am now in the terminal. I get there before the 7:00am flight to Pheonix and ask if I could go on stand by for that flight when it does take off.
The airline people (America West) said that there is a seat open and gave it to me.
That's great because when the flights start to go out, I will get out earlier.
So, I am sitting there waiting for the airport to resume takeoffs and most people in the terminal were Redskin fans going to Pheonix like me, except for one Cowboy fan.
Yes, a Cowboy fan wearing an E. Smith jersey and a Cowboy hat giving shit to all Redskin fans around him. I sat there about 50 feet away listening to him yacking it up saying he was going to make our flight miserable for all Skins fans.
He started pointing people out say he was going to ride you and ride you just being a tipical Cowboys asshole.
Well, I had just enough of his shit, so I stood up and said loudly "Hey, are you going to shut your mouth. You are surrounded be Redskin fans thoughout the terminal. I would not be talking like that and I don't want to hear your crap on the plane either." It got real quiet in the terminal for a minute.
Then some other Redskin fans started saying "You go Riggo." (I was wearing my Riggins jersey) He then said "I can say anything I like because I started this and I will end this."
I said "I don't think so and you better sit down and shut up. You are hurting my ears." Then another Redskin fan said "He is going with us to see our game in Pheonix." I then said "What is up with that!!! Why arnt' you going to see your Cowboys?" He said "I am here to see your team LOSE and give y'all crap." I said "You should not be giving anyone crap after we just beat you 14-13 on national TV."
He then said "You got lucky." I said "Like the Boys did last year at the game in Dallas." He looked like he could not find anything to say and I said "Didn't think so" and I sat down.
He got quiet after that and I continued to read my paper. I look around to see that 2 police officers had walked up and started to talk to the America West people. They hung out for a while then walked away.
Just after that, we hear that flights are resuming and we should be able to board here soon. Then about 15 minutes later, America West said that their is a communication problem with the plane and we will be delayed for 30 more minutes.
Then they came out and said that the flight is now canceled and we have to go to the ticket counter to rebook a flight.
So, we all walk down to the ticket counters to rebook. I get to the counter and told the agent that I was originally on the 10:00am flight but I wanted to be put on stand by on the 7:00am flight but was given a seat, so could I get my old seat back.
They told me that the flight is all booked up but then saw in the computer that my name WAS NOT taken off of my seat assighment, so I did get my seat back.
Thank God.
I had to go threw security AGAIN but I got on my flight by 1:00pm WITHOUT the Cowboys fan. Him and most everyone else had to find flights with different airlines.
Lucky for him.
