I guess I thought it would work I didn't know the distances were so far. I mean
people in New York City can visit each other because you can take a bus and go
from one county to the other. 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.

Hi, Kathleen,
Yes, it would be hard to visit Linda because we live so far apart. She lives
in Northern California and I live in Southern California.

Oh wow I thought California got snow all the time. Just like New York does.
Well I guess I don't know much about the West Coast. I know probably LA and
the rest of it is warm all the time except I think they get rain. Oh boy what
fun. She wears anyway Rosie I'm really curious how far are you and Linda
apart? Is it too far for you guys to visit each other just curious.

Hi, Kathleen,
In winter our temperatures get up in the 60's but I do remember one time
years ago when it got to the late 30's. 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.

But it seems like you have a good support worker and I'm glad you like her.
It's really good it went as well as it could be. I'm really glad you like her
a lot. 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 giggle out of that. But anyway at least she did what I needed done so now I
have it. Anyway I got to steal from cure eggs where I can get four boxes of
coffee every 12 weeks for $47 and that's pretty good. 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 anyway I'm going to go to the Apple store at some point and
have somebody help me put the QVC app on my phone as well as the McDonald's
and Dunkin' Donuts apps. 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 saw an article about that poor truck, Linda. I guess they closed that
whole stretch of highway down so he could get to a safe turn off to get the
truck towed, or fixed anyway. It would indeed be frightening. glad they
brought him to safety.

Oo, Vickie, how horrible and how frightening. I’m sure glad you and Mary
made it through that horrible piece of snowy highway in one piece! 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 don’t envy drivers during winter storms as conditions can
be so treacherous!

No no, not a rehab teacher. Just a pea on secretary. 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 wouldn’t get hit by one of the nine semi trucks
that were passing by, or crashed on the side of the road. Very frightening.
We were in a mini van.

Vicki,
Were you a rehab teacher at the commission?
As far as the snow goes I wouldn't mind a couple more snow storms so I can
get a couple more snow days.

Oh Connie, don’t worry. You’re getting snow later on, probably about
Monday or Tuesday. smile. I know you miss it soooooo much! Since Kalamazoo
is the snow capital I use to say. Had some scary rides through K Zoo during

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!

Yikes
That is a lot of snow. The weather has been crazy here too. It is now 14
degrees and tomorrow we are supposed to get into the 40s. Stay safe and warm
in the storm.
Take care.

We're still getting our share of wet weather in Reno. There might be some
flooding for those who live near the rivers and smaller bodies of water.
