Sorry I haven't been around for a while but work has been keeping me busy from the moment I walk in the door. I can't complain though, not after all the lay offs and salary reductions etc., that's been going on around here. I am glad to be working! |

I'm glad our retirement years are not to far away...though they may not be to much better by the sounds of some people. Maybe I'll go into making apple fritters and as soon as I can figure out how to make the low-carb..I'll send you one! LOL.What was it people use to day..Life is an @itch!"...someday it tis I suppose...I'd hate to be an leader/manager these days in some ways, its the most replaceable job out there. Next time your out and about...on an bus..tell your driver to look up the Oregonian Newspaper section E..front page..Aug, 12, 2009 it shows an whole lot of clusters of small fans...under the picture it reads multiple fans each electrically powered and capable of startng and stopping on it's own maintain the temperature of an Tri.-met bus engine more efficiently .,,saving annually thousands of gallons of diesel fuel and less wear and tear on the engines. So far tri-met has retrofited 66 buses with them, the fans are now being adopted elsewhere in the U.S. Just so they are aware of this new approach in the bus industry, we had the nicest tour bus operator back there in Boston when I was there, and our then Gov. was ahead of the national transporation system, so we talked with them while there about what they'd think were good ideas to put through nationally. Which they told us (near cities) double decker highway systems, trucks, buses and emergency below, pedestrains and automobiles and small trucks above level. Just an nice payback for them I guess Diana. |

New week, busy week, looking forward to it being a good week. Jason, hope you get those comp probs fixed, pronto. Hello Krissy! Has school started for your young ones? Out schools start today, though mine are all done. |

She's chomping at the bit! There are four girls in our little courtyard, so far three Erin, and two others have the same teacher this year!! How fun is that! We have to check the other girl! |
