RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE 1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship.............She goes on Tuesdays; I go on Fridays. 2. We also sleep in separate beds............Hers is in California, and mine is in Texas 3. I take my wife everywhere...........but she keeps finding her way back. 4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. 'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said...........So I suggested the kitchen. 5. We always hold hands...........If I let go, she shops. 6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said 'There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!' So I bought her an electric chair. 7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, 'In the lake.' 8. She got a mud pack, and looked great for two days........Then the mud...

I better get a bigger truck!

And just for the record, I had over 400 miles of this stuff. Or a lot worse that this depending on how you look at it. I'm not easy to intimidate when it comes to driving on snow. You might even say that I like driving on snow better than dry blacktop. Just ask Squirrel, he has been sideways more than once in the passengers seat. However, I was getting tired of snow this trip. Snow no matter where you go. At least the sun was out for part of the trip. Everything tends to look better covered in snow. Three days, 1585 miles total, over 400 on snow or ice. Good thing I had my eyes closed so much.

And I will be your Dam tour guide... If you have any Dam question or need any Dam information, please let me know. Now if you all will please get into the Dam train, I will be operating the Dam train on the Dam tour today. The Dam volunteers thank you for coming on this Dam tour.

One might want to slow down.....maybe? I mean the speed limit is 75mph. Time to run around in the snow. I just love this picture, that's why it is here twice. It's the road to nowhere. Trees sometimes look better in formal wear. (snow)

Mine started with a very nice sunrise in the Columbia Gorge. Then somewhere over the rainbow....I see this looming storm. But, why can't I go this way????? I just knew that was not going to be good. And a way we go.
