This is why I live in California

For some bizarre reason, I thought it would be a good idea to go to a couple of trials in Washington this weekend.  Even tho I have no real idea what the competition will be, and it's winter, which means it'll be cold with a chance of stuff falling out of the sky.  So I could end up spending a bunch of money to suffer and get no points.  Oh boy - fun!  ;-)

So, of course the weather is conspiring against me and plans to dump a bunch of snow on the freeway.  We left about 12 hours earlier than I'd planned and managed to get thru California before any white stuff landed on the road.  Which is good because it's a nanny state and I'd be required to put chains on the car.  No thanks.  But, the minute we crossed into Oregon -

We are currently holed up in a Motel 6 in Eugene - it's still snowing but not as badly.  Tomorrow we only have about five more hours to go to get to the site, hopefully there won't be any more driving fun...
