Greetings from scenic and snowy NJ. We have about 5 or 6 inches on the
ground and more expected tomorrow. That is a lot for NJ in December.
Anyway this afternoon at about noon I realized the snow was getting
worse and I only had a couple of bottles of beer and wine. So as a
self-respecting MG owner (or crazy idiot) I decide to drive about 8
miles to the only liquor store that sells Foster Bitters. So I dropped
the top, loaded up the dog, and took the MG. It handled better in the
snow then I expected. I got stuck in some traffic due to an accident
where some guy ran off the road. Anyway the cop who stopped traffic
walked back two cars to where I was waiting and asked me what kind of
car and what was I thinking. I told him, "It's an MG, and I need to get
to the liquor store." He gave me a look and then said "Figures." and
walked away. I got plenty of funny looks going down the highway and in
the store parking lot some kid wanted his dad to take out their
convertible. Some other lady thought that I should have the top up if I
had my dog in the car. Not sure why, he seemed to like the snow and if
he got cold he could hunker down into the footwell. It was a nice drive
even if it took over an hour. I learned my dog is not really fond of
doing doughnuts in the parking lot. When I would spin he would lay down
flat. Maybe he is not so dumb after all. I got a case of Bitter's
(the only one), 3 bottles of white, bottle of red and milk for the
coffee. I am set for the weekend. :-D
What did you do today??????????
