Just got home from Santa arriving by a Lifeflight helicopter.
The Police Chief and I were the only ones doing crowd control. You know that was going to be tough with the kids wanting to rush the bird before it landed.
Anyway, my rules were real simple - stay on the road/driveway. I had about...

Great time at the Bing Bang Rally today and for you guys that don't know, 98G is a wonderful guy.

This is the last email before this year’s BA-DA BA-DA BING BANG Rally.
I have to get it sent this morning because I most likely will not be able to check my email any later than tonight, as I have to go “live” at the Armory tomorrow night. More on that later.
