Kathleen, things in the westt are a lot more spread out. There are several
large states in this part of the country.

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.

Since Kalamazoo is the snow capital I use to say. Had some scary rides
through K Zoo during my life in Michigan. 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!

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.
