Replying to a message of Steven Horn to All:

 RN>> A safe and Merry Christmas to all!

I'll second that and add that everyone have a safe and Happy New Year next week.

 SH> Roger,

 SH> The season has been merry and safe here so far but it has not been
 SH> exactly warm.  Most of last week, the day time high was -30ø F and
 SH> while it's not quite that cool this week, cars still need to be
 SH> plugged in.

We had an ice storm here on the 19th, finally got the ice chipped off the car
(about 100 pounds of it) on the 22nd.  Then snow on top of it on the 23rd and
24th.  Today (26th) it's just starting to melt - we're having a heat wave, it's
about +40 degrees at 0530, first time above freezing in nearly two weeks.

 SH> But Christmas is white and our planes are flying. 

More than can be said for Denver and Chicago - but fortunately nobody was
seriously hurt in either mishap.
