I have a party an hr away from me and my host just called and said I -80 is closed. She gave out all the catalogs I sent her so I am hoping that she can get some more and I would call at 3:00 and do a catalog walk through if it doesnt open up. (The host says it is pretty smokey by her due to a fire. )
