You also, T. Guess I get to watch Detroit 1-8-7 live tonight instead of on TIVO.

I once traveled twenty miles to a game during a snowstorm. Didn't get a call from my assigner, or the school. Couldn't get in touch with the school, my partner, or my assigner (olden days before cell phones). Took me over an hour to get to the game. The game was cancelled, but nobody contacted the cheerleadng coach, or the police officer, who I met in the parking lot. The officer confirmed the cancellation over his radio.
I'm sure the police departments are thrilled with such calls. No, they ain't busy. Just eatin' doughnuts.

No food if you missed the channel. Or ripped through them.

The storm passed mostly to our north west......we just got rain. Good luck to all you unlucky folks.

Schools are open.

Game on tonight! Game on tonight!

Last night's cancellation already rescheduled for Sat!


Oh yeah - your Federal Govt is open too.

I mentioned before that, last week, I drove 40 miles to a game, only to find it had been postponed. We weren't notified.

It was moved to tomorrow night, and I got the assignment again, with the same partner.

It just got postponed again.

Some schools will go to great lengths to avoid having you as the official.

My wife is like this. To me, if I get 90% of it, I'm happy.

This morning will be a mess. I'm about to try to move the mountain of snow we have out front.

Wednesday's an off day for HS sports in this area. Good thing.
