It's probably 500 miles from down here where Rosie and Curt and I
live up to where Linda lives. California is very long.

I guess I thought it would just be easy for you guys to meet each other. I mean people can each other in New York City pretty much that is if they can use para transit or the buses in the subways and it's not really all that spread out and even if they don't meet they can talk on the phone and stuff but anyway I guess California must be really really huge. I've never been there so I don't know what it's like maybe someday I'll get there sometime it would be pretty cool.

Or you can take the subway. I didn't realize the California was that different whoops I guess I made a mistake there. I just thought you guys could meet or call each other or something. It would be nice to do that but I guess it really wouldn't work.

Is it too far for you guys to visit each other just curious.

I was going to medical transcribing school at that time and I had to wear gloves because it was so cold. Yes, we do get snow in the mountains but not in the lower elevations. A long time ago we got a little bit of snow but when it hit the ground, it melted.

Well let's see I asked one of the people in my ham radio group if they would make the label so I could send my braille writer back and his response was why don't you ask somebody in your building to do it so now I know not to ask that person to do anything like that. I'll just take the braille writer to the UPS store and be done with it. But one of my friends was kind of worried because he thought that I would fall trying to carry. Because that thing is not light. I have to carry it there so I can get a box because I don't have any boxes. But anyway I'll get it done and get it out of here. Anyway the bank work for that read my credit card read me the wrong numbers on the back. My worker had to read it and believe it or not she said the print was so small she had to put her glasses on to read it and we kind a got a gi

And I can change my flavors anytime I want. So I'm going to use that for a while. Then if I get tired of it I can cancel it. And I also got the number for Jell-O so I can order the footings that I want. And that's pretty cool. Hopefully my braille writer I'll come back just like new and I'll be glad when that happens. And I'll talk to my mother tomorrow and I'll see what she's up to but right now she's doing pretty good for 90 years old. But the thing I wish is I would like to see that braille note that flying blind self. You know the apex. I wish they had a payment plan so that if people wanted to buy those they could but it doesn't seem like they do when I don't think that's right but that's just my opinion. I really wish they had something like that. That would be really cool. But anyw

Those will be pretty good if I want to use then what if I decide not to I can get rid of them. Well OK I thought in California there wasn't any snow. I thought it was warm all year round like Florida I didn't know you guys got snow so that's crazy. Maybe in the mountains I guess but what about where you are when did you get snow or does it just rain? What is your weather like out there? Just curious does it get really cold? Is it get down below zero or not just wondered.

I heard about a poor guy who had one wheel of a truck he had to drive for delivery off of a road and hanging down a cliff. This would have been in the mountain area north of the Bay Area during one of the most recent storms at a time mud slides were happening in the area. Luckily, someone from Cal Trans (the agency which cleans up mud slides and assists stranded drivers) helped him to make sure the truck stayed on the road. He said he was never so frightened in his life. I sure donât envy drivers during winter storms as conditions can be so treacherous!

I worked for the Business Enterprise Program though, and every year they did a training program for people who wanted to get into the vending program. So, I was in charge of talking about several things and they always held the training beginning January, through March. Right in the heart of winter. One time Mary Jenkins and I hit an icy spot on I-94 and bounced from left to right, off snow piles, praying we wouldnât get hit by one of the nine semi truckucks that were passing by, or crashed on the side of the road. Very frightening. We were in a mini van.

Both in my early years with mom and dad, traveling from Benton Harbor to Pontiac, and later in my work years, traveling to present at the training center in Kalamazoo while working for the Commission. Not my favorite place to live for sure!
