Unusual weather we’re having, ain’t it? A twister touched down in Baltimore, scooped me up and transported me north. Luckily, I have my ruby snow-boots on; looks like I’m gonna need 'em! Instinct says to follow the slick yellow brick road the entire way... keep on truckin’ because up ahead I see BUFFALOz! Stay focused and remember it takes brains, courage and heart to get over the rainbow. Click my heels three times, There’SNO Place Like Home!
