VBdenny Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Near Smyrna Delaware the road was pretty well covered. Luckily it appeared the faint of heart stayed home. Pretty nice day to have new snow tires.
LEX-SV Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Staying home is one way to not be on the news show this evening.
13IS250C Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I agree with Lex. I'm not getting my pretty baby out in stuff like that. I don't care what kind of tires she has.
VBdenny Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Luckily, my Silverado with the snow tires is not "pretty' and kind of looks like a beast with the Winterforce tires. Truck is pretty salted up and dirty from 1800 miles of highway. I would never consider driving my car in this stuff.
13IS250C Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Oh, I didn't realize you were in the Beast. Keep on truckin!
LEX-SV Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I rent a AWD/4wd SUV when visiting high country in winter. My Lexus IS runs summer tires, climate at my home is 300 days/year of sun (I play tennis outdoors year round).
13IS250C Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 It's cold and rainy here today. :-( Making my famous spaghetti and meatballs.
VBdenny Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 IF. I didn't have a truck I woild also rent s vehicle for salty excursions. Virginia Beach can be nice during winter but it can also be nasty. IS250 stays inside.
VBdenny Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 42F and rein at Beach. Ahhh. Perfectly fine I guess
LEX-SV Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 72F and partly sunny today in Santa Clara Valley. Mighty pleasant after a few chilly days in 50's. It's fine by my standards for January, after a wet December.
VBdenny Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Sounds beautiful. I do love California just wish it wasn't so far away. My daughter lived in SD for a year and friends in Coronado. Been to Santa Barbara several times. Did the PCH and 101 a few times (but not quite enough) which can't be beat. When all is said and done, I'm an east coast boy. Maine to Florida, im good. I really like driving my car.
13IS250C Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Memphis has awesome springs and falls. Beautiful flowers in spring and beautiful color in the fall. Summers are hot and humid, winters are cold. We get all 4 seasons here. We are just here because hubby has a great job. As soon as he retires, we are headed someplace warmer, more tropical and laid back.
LEX-SV Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 That's also main reason why I live in the high tech capital of the world (job/local demand for skillset), the weather is just a fringe benefit. Although when I retire I will continue to live in a area nearby with Mediterranean climate which I enjoy.
LEX-SV Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 DC isn't even close to being high tech capital of world. (Although it might be world capital of government spend). Tech capital is commonly called Silicon Valley but more accurately is greater SF Bay Area, CA.
LEX-SV Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Staying home is one way to not be on the news show this evening. A better idea for tomorrow 1/27 than when I originally posted this...
VBdenny Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 I know silicon valley may be where the development happens but the Internet is pretty much based around DC. Virginia even has special license plates touting "Internet Capital" on them. Probably because it makes it easier for the NSA to tap in and spy on us.

Yes it probably was "internet capital" back in the day (1999, at least per Gore and governor) pre-Google, not even close today. Now it's just another very out of date vanity plate. When doing (tech) business the further from DC, the better.
