heads up.<br>
<br>
A few of you were expecting my lady and I at Coronation. Despite plans <br>
to attend in earnest, reason has triumphed in light of the oncoming <br>
weather here in Oklahoma. I will not risk travel with my lady under the <br>
forecast conditions.<br>
<br>
The route to Coronation from Oklahoma City is the I-44 corridor. This <br>
area is forecast receive light to moderate rain tomorrow with some <br>
freezing rain probable. We would no doubt arrive safely in Burkburnett, <br>
TX under those conditions.<br>
However...<br>
Saturday the freezing rain is forecast to continue throughout the day <br>
all along the I-44 corridor, and worsen in the late afternoon/early <br>
evening. 1 inch - 1 1/2 inches of ice accumulation is expected, as well <br>
as power outages and road closures.<br>
<br>
I can't afford to be trapped in North Texas for a few days. I also have <br>
no faith in the competence of my fellow motorists in weather like that. <br>
I've decided it's better to have folks irritated at my caution rather <br>
than horrified at my misfortune.<br>
Besides, there's only one lady like mine, and I ain't riskin' her.<br>
If it turns out to be a chilly rain and nothing more, I'll stand by my <br>
decision regardless.<br>
I'd hoped to perform "Anthem of the Arms" at Coronation, as well as <br>
provide the lyrics and tune.<br>
I will share that with the Kingdom throughout the year wherever it is <br>
welcome.<br>
I also regret that I shall not hear Eleanor's last piece for their <br>
Majesties Aaron and Britta.<br>
I have communicated my apologies and regards to both Their Majesties <br>
and Their Highnesses, and I apologize to you that the title will not be <br>
represented at that event.<br>
Those that recall my last tenure will know it is highly unusual for me <br>
to cancel such a trip. It is not a habit, I assure you.<br>
<br>
I'll be available for insult and disdain at future events around the <br>
Kingdom. In the meantime, I'll just hunker down and hope the power <br>
stays on.<br>
<br>
