Subj : Miss.RvrDamBreach-Davenpt To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Mon Feb 24 2020 07:48:00 Hi Nancy! BM> Was reminded by the subject: they are predicting flooding again this BM> year but not as high a level. The chit-chat between the local news BM> anchors and meteorologist included a comment about stacking the HESCO BM> Barriers double thickness. NB> Maybe this year they'll be better prepared to deal with things... Hopefully! I do recall having a half-thought some time back of why the barriers didn't have a better seal at the junctions (between and under the individual units): can't possibly line 'em up that accurately. Some sections did have plastic sheets (probably Visqueen or equivalent), but even then if gets punctured by debris shooting down the River..... BTW, now they're talking of 6" of snow -- I was only half-paying attention and so not sure if that 6" over Tuesday and Wednesday or some snow on Tuesday and 6" more on Wednesday. (Guess will find out!) NB>>>> Ah, well... You'll just have to give them personal demonstrations/ NB>>>> hands on lectures when you visit them, I guess.... with a little NB>>>> exposure to actually using the picture frames, they might decide it's NB>>>> not quite so arcane after all... :) BM>>> Possibly! Last summer my Mother did have the frame out and she has BM>>> seen the vacation pictures but had not seen a different presentation on BM>>> a second thumbdrive (pictures and short videos my Mother would have BM>>> been interested in but not my Aunt). We never did get around to seeing BM>>> them: my Mother too tired or too busy or not enough time or.... NB>>> Another visit, perhaps... BM>> Another one is coming up; right now don't know when as a lot of 'time BM>> variables'. NB>> By Easter, maybe...? BM> At this point looks like mid-June. NB> That would be visiting your Aunt, not just your Mother....? Correct. BM>>> As for my Aunt, I don't know if my Mother showed my Aunt or what. My BM>>> Mother was staying with my Aunt in her apartment (I was in the hotel a BM>>> couple blocks away). Early in the vacation I was going to show and it BM>>> was a 'later'; admittedly after a while I forgot about it. NB>>> Again... maybe another visit.... ;) BM>> Works for me! NB>> Just have to keep it in mind to put on the trip agenda... ;) BM> Yup.... NB> Write yourself a note, and then put it somewhere where you'll NB> trip over it when you start getting ready for the next trip NB> there... ;) Need to remind myself to remember to read the reminder note about remembering! BM>> ... He's so old his photo ID is a black and white tin-type. NB>> That sounds just a little implausible... but indeed ancient... BM> Well, since they do require renewals every few years, maybe a BM> Polaroid! NB> Nowadays, they take them with computer cameras.... ;) Yes. My Mother's camera is still 35mm film - apparently she's not the only one as can purchase and develop at two or three stores convenient to her. She has said usually only a few boxes of film available and she does look at the dates to be certain not expired and will last a while in her camera. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
