Re: Rain? Maybe.YES!

I agree about the bradfords...on our flight from Chicago to Oklahoma, a
woman talked about the ice storms and said that in Tulsa most of the
bradfords just split right down the middle.  I know a lot of people like
them but in our area they just constantly break from winds and ice that I
don't think them worth it.
