Help

We need you Yupers to go to the Indianapolis International Airport and pick up Duane. He is flying in on Air Trans 370 at 7:30pm tonight. We would do it but we do not drive in freezing rain, sleet and snow which is predicted for tonight between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm...right in the middle of Duane landing. We are suggesting that he pick up a rental car and drive down to our house. That way, there is only one nut on the road and he only has to drive one way where as we would have to drive both directions.

If he should make it to our house then we are going to loan him our Ford Taurus so that he can drive up to see your mother. This whole deal was to save him the cost of a rental car and reduce his airline fare because he only needed to fly into Indianapolis rather than Detroit and then to Indianapolis on his return.

Howell, MI is supposed to get another nine inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow night so even if he makes it to Michigan tomorrow, the question is can he make it to your mother's place.

This is why Jan and I do not travel in the winter month. I just don't know how you Yupers do it year after year driving back and forth to the Mackinac Bridge.

Of course I also have to ask myself why the hell we are moving back to Michigan next year...we are all nuts.

Some how I missed this post! Glad Duane got there and then to Mom's safe and sound! Us Yoopers do not usually have to deal with ice too much just lots and lots of snow, we got another 14-16 inches christmas night that we woke up to! Sounds like you guys had lots of fun!
