Just doing chores around the house today--grading exams, cutting grass, and packing, but tomorrow and I'm going CAMPING with a couple dozen people from my church.
What's everyone else doing? (I know, most of the LU alumni are working and have no Fall Break).

Must be nice.
Staff = no fall break
Staff = no day off to vote

And Mrs. Cider is packing her air card, so I may be able to check FF from the Wildwood Campground. I'm making Brunswick stew Friday night for 2 dozen people.

MBA Homework and real work. No break (although it is easier to get things done when the S-A's are home on Fall Break).
Might try to go to the beach one evening with the wife.

I had tickets to go to seattle to visit family and go real snowboarding on a real mountain. But my church said I needed to be in town for railroad festival in appomattox, so i guess ill go to snowflex instead

The Railroad festival is actually one of the few times when it was cool to be in Appomattox back in the day.
Down here the fall break is the week of Thanksgiving.

Can't be done. I've tried every possible route and just about every speed. You can't make it through all of those speed traps without getting pulled at least once.
I've probably done the trip 100 times and I think 3 hours is the max.

Yeah that is something I wouldn't admit to on the interwebs..
Cuz there ain't no way you're doing that legally or remotely safe.
