Thanksgiving was fun, went by super fast though. Finals went well. I'm ready for another semester. Good luck with your trip to AL. Hopefully it's warmer there, haha. It's been in the 20's here. We really didn't get much from the storm. A bit of rain, but that's all. About your radio, you might want ...

(could be the computer, I've seen this happen when the computer gets wet and goes crazy). -Did you eve...
