LN-QRM #20: Snow, Snow, Snow

OK, when this was recorded, New Hampshire got slammed with a huge snow storm. This on top of the three feet we already had on the ground. This, just after I came back from spending a week down South Carolina and Florida where it was sunny and 81 degrees every day. It sure makes on think about moving. But I’ll change my mind when summer gets here and the temperature here will be in the 70’s and down south… well, you know. We have a lot of topics n this show. Enjoy…
