Thanks to all - I am having a lovely birthday! It's funny, though, how the years change your perception: I used to regret that I wasn't born in 1933, and now, I'm more grateful for the very same fact every year, lol. The best gift was a VERY 2007 thing: a letter from Uncle Sam, saying that I'm not a threat to the security of America, (I was amazed - it actually says that!), and can therefore renew the Hazmat endorsement on my CDL. (Luckily, the test was easy, cause I completely forgot I'd have to take it again):+
I hope everyone else is having a lovely day too - and drive carefully if you're in an area of freezing rain, like northern Ohio.
