You need to correct that 2nd paragraph to read "You will also be A stormchaser..."
Everyone knows that I am THE stormchaser when there is severe weather around Lubbock...
It was fun Jon. Who's Ron going to blame now?!

I'm glad I got to meet you while you were out there...I'm still pissed about that speeding ticket though.
Your web site is bookmarked at work and home.
Isn't there a song about happiness being Lubbock in your rear view mirror?

The unofficial breakfast: a cigarette stubbed out in a donut. The unofficial motto 'No, we don't have a basement.'"

Congrats!!!! Boise is a great town! Will you come through the salty lake and visit us here?
Nicely done man, so glad you are moving onto something new and exciting! Although the storm chasing in Boise is some slim pickings! Nice people, low cost of living up there and if you like to fish, that's a big bonus.
Good luck on the move!

Thank you to everyone! I thought Boise was going to be some small town in the middle of the mountains when I went on the interview. Boy was I dead WRONG! That place is really booming! The city is one of the most beautiful city's i have ever visited and soon to live in! There is so much growth there it is unreal. If you ever want to come visit come on over! We can do some White water rafting (My aunt is going to come over in the spring and do that with me)!
Again thanks to everyone. Also if you know anyone that wants to take my current job, have them send a tape ASAP!!!!
Again thanks to everyone!!! ![[party]](graemlins/icon_pidu.gif)
