my feeling is, if they were able to do that, they could have at least phoned all patients of that day, right???
9:41 am
flosey
could be, of course, that they had someone else post the notice!! someone who would not have a key
9:44 am
flosey
so now a bit of a rush, have a meeting off island, Duncan. Be back tonight at flip
9:44 am

Wow, they didn't even call you to tell you they wouldn't be there? That's not right.

Feast or famine, sounds like -- it's not a lot of fun to have either too much or too little -- right now there is more precipitation than normal, and there are some landslides in unusual places.

Yes, a year ago the late autumn was brutally cold (for us, below 20F for many days in a row), but this year although I think overall colder in the winter a lot less extreme. And there has been a real snow day and a late start due to the snow for the first time in the several years I have been teaching.

Hi babblers .. back to try and finish.
9:17 pm
gapeach
I try to get some words each day, but the joints in my hands make it hurtful....so, I very seldom finish a grid. Have you had much rain and mud slides out your way?
9:17 pm
rururocks
lots of rain for sure.. some road closures
9:18 pm
rururocks
there's a creek behind my house that is roaring

9:36 pm
rururocks
this is the first time in my life I'm dating someone younger than me
9:37 pm
chj
well, insofar as CT is concerned, I'd have to say no. Norwich is in eastern CT, Stamford is west in the panhandle. But since CT is such wee bitty state, then I spose I am.
9:38 pm
gapeach
Well, if you care for her, it should work out fine, ruru.
9:39 pm
