Subj : snow.. To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Jan 03 2026 07:24:00 Hi Daryl! 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. DS> If the low pressure center goes 50 miles in either direction, DS> the entire forecast changes. I'm not sure it's even that much: a lot of times the forecasters will say something about if the front travels 20-25 miles differently then we'll get snow (or rain or whatever is the potential concern). 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. DS> If I see winter weather may be an issue, I'll call 24 hours DS> out, and reschedule. If I can't make it in, they likely can't, DS> either. And, I won't bother calling Lyft for a ride, although if DS> I got the medical clinic ride from my HMO, I'll cancel it the day DS> before. Yes; make sense. BM> And she invited you over?! DS> I took her and her boyfriend to lunch late in 2024 and 2025. DS> They are technically engaged, but let's just say it's not the DS> best of relationships, and I'll leave it there. She still refers DS> to me as her best friend and confidant, but she has a ton of DS> problems (don't we all??!!). Swami Bahr-ree sees in his crystal ball a potential candidate for Divorse Court! If not-that-great now only bound to get worse, and nobody needs that. I don't see any problem with you being her best friend and confidant -- he might, but that might just emphasize insecurities in his mind. 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. DS> I knew a woman who would swallow her medications with saliva. DS> No thanks, I'll wash mine down with plenty of beverage. It might depends on the size of the pill: smaller ones might be more difficult to swallow while larger ones may be fine. The coating might also have something to do with it. Overall if need the beverage (are we supposed to add a 'nudge-nudge-wink-wink' there ) I don't see a problem unless the prescriber does. Liquids help hydrate anyway. 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. DS> Never mind all the fraud going on otherwise. For some reason too true. Around here we've have numerous cases of -- now I can't think of the word -- anyway, stealing or 'borrowing' money from school and town budgets. One may have hit national headlines as she had several race horses. 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. DS> I don't either. I have a hard enough time keeping up with me. You're the soap opera, not the Lifetime movie! ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ....
