<DIV>Greetings to the Tavern!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>The playful Atlantian weather spirits descended late
last night with their typical sense of humor, leaving cold, ice, freezing
rain and snarled traffic. But, the valiant VDOT warriors were
ready for them this time, fought a good battle, and won. The weather
wizards (AKA the Weather Channel) are smiling at us today, and promising much
better weather tomorrow for our glorious day. Cloudy, but no rain, no ice
and a high of 45.</EM></DIV>
