Thanks to Melba Pierce for this image… she writes:

“This pic was taken today out in the front yard of the daughter of one of the guys I work with. She lives in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Which is north of Bethesda….The son in-law is in medical school in the Army to become a doctor. Anyway, my friend/co-worker & his wife, drove up from Grove Hill, AL starting early AM Saturday, stopped in Charolotte, NC Saturday night @ his son’s house to spend the night & started driving on up to his daughter’s house in Maryland @ 5:30 AM Eastern time….he said it took over 7 hours to get there when it would normally have been about a 4 hour drive.

He said it wasn’t the weather that took him so long, but the nuts who were driving 70+ MPH then hitting their brakes on downhill bridges and having wrecks. Thankfully, they arrived safe and sound around 2 PM yesterday and is in the middle of installing new kitchen cabinets for his daughter who is expecting very soon. That’s his Christmas present to her….getting her kitchen done before her big Christmas Day Dinner and before he has to leave and be back at work in South AL…on Saturday, Dec. 26th…..can you believe that? Great dad …huh!”
