oh, dear. Is Geri okay? That slipping and falling on the ice can be a life changer.
You might check somewhere else for a rental car - my guess is the hotel is taking a big cut.
82* I remember that. It's 40ish, exceptionally wet (we are drowning in our drought). We had 2 1/2" of rain Sunday, an inch on Monday and 1 1/3 yesterday. Sprinkly today.
The gophers aerate the soil and eat bugs. Not worth it.Our perfect dog had an implosion yesterday. In about 45 minutes he strewed the garbage through the dining room, kitchen, eating area and family room. Either before or after that he did some counter surfing and had 4 apple turnovers fresh from the bakery and a pound of twizzlers. We were upstairs and didn't hear a thing. We found him sitting in his bed with the remains of bright red and yellow chip bags everywhere. ("It was a tornado, I swear!") Wasn't messy garbage, mostly packaging. So hard to yell at him and laugh at the same time.
car content - replaced a light bulb in the jeep. Mary
Geri was in Charlotte last weekend and there was a good bit of ice on the sidewalks and she slipped on the sidewalk at the mall next to the hotel. I was going to go with her but the flight back showed overbooked by a bunch but it ended up having 20 empty seats on it... But she has the same trip this week so we are going to rent a car sat morning and drive around and check the area out. She has a couple houses she wants to stop and look at. Luckily the doubletree suites has a Hertz counter in the lobby. Only bad part is that rental cars are twice what I pay at most any other city. Their rental car taxes must be quite high.Oh and we were 82* yesterday and the day before was very nice at 72* and 20% humidity. We only see air that dry maybe 6 days in the year. Was perfect all day. Course back to 60s today and 86% humidity.And for varmits... I was siting outside last night and the gopher was clearing dirt out of a hole about 3' away from the chair. I wish I had a .22 at that time. They are getting really bad lately doing allot of damage. They do nothing beneficial at all.Robert AdamsOn Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 11:45 AM, Mary McCarthy <printces@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:printces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote:oh, that's a funny story. When we moved here we bought a .22 because of varmints. Then Dan was sitting out on the porch reading, and looked up just in time to see a small black bear amble across the lawn in from of him. We looked at the bear, looked at the .22 and laughed. We also had a neighborhood cougar for awhile. I have my dad's guns and when I was little my dad's idea of father/daughter time was to take me to the police shooting range with him. No big deal, Frank.There's two cars in the ditch in front of my house both abandoned. They really have no clue how to drive on snow.No guns in this house. We don't need guns.
