My current place is a 1940s bungalow that had been newly but not fancily (or particularly well) rennovated in the first suburb/neighborhood built with cars in mind for the city. It seems pretty solid so far. |

In weather news, it is way too warm for December. Not only that but, when it gets cooler, rain is going to come and, apparently, never go away (starting Wednesday). Yuck! At least we get a couple of nice days between the front on Sunday and Wednesday.

If they are going to make you participate in training as part of your job, you would think that they would at least change it up each year? But nope. Ninety minutes of the same bullshit that we have seen every year for the last 12 years.
ugggghhhhhhh |

Ugh. That sounds about par for the course. We always hear the same old stuff in ethics training every year.

It's probably best to err on the side of keeping things confidential. Don't do something if it seems even a little dodgy to you.

I'm in NYC, which is not all that close to central PA. I can provide a mailing address in a PM if you like. Where is "near Chicago"? I've been to Chicago, but not the surrounding areas. There's a theoretical possibility I might be headed out that way at some point. An old friend with Leadfoot Lucy tendencies really wants to drag my SO and I along on an extended road trip, staying at Best Westerns along the way. (We all like the chain - units have a lot more individual character than those in other chains.) Right now it's all in the theoretical "We should do this. It will be fun!" stage, with no decisions made about route or destination (though winding up in SF is not beyond the realm of possibility.) Should this occur, I'll try to remember to drop you a note if our route takes us near you. ______ Dennis |

We stayed an extra night at a motel outside Harrisburg that was a truck stop, and the diner nearby was full of big rig drivers. One older couple having dinner were certain NYC was a scene of rioting and looting. I said "No. I live there. It isn't. The Police Commissioner put out the word, and every cop in uniform is out of the street. And it's freezing cold and driving rain. I assure you, no one will be rioting and looting in that! NYC is not New Orleans." A trucker I spoke to talked about encountering tornadoes, and said "You can get away just fine if you have a 200mph bike! By the time you're hitting 160 or so, it's throwing stuff at you, but you can just thumb your nose and keep motoring." Yeah, I just bet you can... It was a straight shot across from Harrisburg to NYC, complicated at the end. The route took us to the Holland Tunnel into NYC, which was flooded out. There was a turnoff just before the tunnel entrance to go north to the Lincoln Tunnel, which was still operating. But that route went through Hoboken, which was largely flooded. We wound up stalled out in 2' of water at an intersection, and I had to get out and push till the engine would catch and we could travel again. The Lincoln Tunnel lets out into upper Manhattan, which was a zoo. We finally managed to get past it. The dividing line where the power was out was 34th Street, and I live on 30th Street. My building was open, and I live on the second floor, so it was no problem to go up a flight of stairs, go into my place, grab a few necessities, and come back down. Driving in lower Manhattan was fun, because the traffic lights were out. There were few cars on the road, and the ones that were were going very slowly and carefully. We went to Brooklyn where the power was still on and camped out with the friend we'd gone to NC with till power was restored. We had to toss out half the contents of the refrigerator, but that was the extent of the damage. Fun, for suitable values of the term. Quote:
