Hi Nancy!

Woke up to just under a quarter-inch of snow!  Not the earliest recorded
snowfall but definitely towards the the top of that list.  And they're 
talkling the possibility of two to three inches on Halloween!

Yes....  Sort of reminded me of the handicapped vehicle parking thread 
we had a little while ago.  Maybe the person looks healthy; looks can be
deceiving.  Same for "oh it's just a runny nose": for most it's carry an
extra Kleenex, for a few it's doctor time.  As always, no one rule or 
consideration for everyone.




 NB> ... Gee! Slow day on the nets ... only 1,100 messages to read!

I had 100% of the messages in this packet!
