Barry,

 BM> Yes, what was kind of funny (for me - not the ones involved) is
 BM> the snow causing the pile-up ~100 miles west of me was barely
 BM> any snow here.  Got the winds (50+ MPH), got the cold
 BM> temperatures (though air stayed in the teens), just barely
 BM> above a trace of snow.

  If the low pressure center goes 50 miles in either direction,
the entire forecast changes.

 BM> Right.  Patient should call in to be certain open.  ...Just
 BM> watch for the auto-transfer: if one site doesn't answer their
 BM> phone call because of whatever reason will transfer to another
 BM> site.

  If I see winter weather may be an issue, I'll call 24 hours out,
and reschedule. If I can't make it in, they likely can't, either.
And, I won't bother calling Lyft for a ride, although if I got the
medical clinic ride from my HMO, I'll cancel it the day before.

 BM> And she invited you over?!

  I took her and her boyfriend to lunch late in 2024 and 2025. They
are technically engaged, but let's just say it's not the best of
relationships, and I'll leave it there. She still refers to me as
her best friend and confidant, but she has a ton of problems (don't
we all??!!).

 BM> Then the worms 'be-ate-ing' you!  ...There's a joke "everything
 BM> is cancer-causing, even swallowing small amounts of saliva over
 BM> long periods of time".  Not meant to belittle but more it seems
 BM> no definitive cause and just keep on the look-out.

  I knew a woman who would swallow her medications with saliva.
No thanks, I'll wash mine down with plenty of beverage.

 BM> The heating systems are usually pretty robust, as in almost
 BM> sweat in the older buildings.  Air conditioning being added
 BM> where can -- budgets for the small districts get really
 BM> stetched.

  Never mind all the fraud going on otherwise.

 BM> We don't like him: he's an a**.

  Would he have a split personality?? <G>

 DS>   "Burnt To S***"!! <G>

 BM> That's almost the story of how potato chips were created.

  Interesting.

 BM> Yes, I read that the other day.  I hadn't heard about her in
 BM> ages, though I'll also admit I don't follow the celebrities.

  I don't either. I have a hard enough time keeping up with me. <G>
