because I rolled out of bed right before six am, spent five minutes petting buster the cat, took my shower, brushed teeth, got dressed, went outside, brushed four inches of fresh snow off my car and my wife's car, all the while a light freezing rain was falling. drove to work, walked in the door, got my coffee, thinking to myself, "WhereTF is everyone??" and then one of the few people here walks by and says, "Rick, you moron, the base is on a two hour delay due to the weather."
