Short Post because I'm a little short on time tonight

We've been pretty busy here the past week. Still lots of snow and still snowing right now! I've been busy driving, I was at it from 7:45 am yesterday until 12:30 am this morning because I took the High School Jazz Band to a concert down in CDA at the College. I watched them during the practice session.
Well at least they TRIED! Pretty bad, which is a little sad. I think that some of the 13 members attitudes of "at least its getting us out of school for the day" are to blame. Last school year I took the Jr High to a similar concert, it was kind of embarrassing, but they also tried! And that's one of the things about the schools up here. They still have the opportunities to try at the districts expense. Golf, Archery, Ski trips this time of year for all grades, Bowling, all kinds of activities that have long been extinct from the old California schools our kids attended.
Stacy has been putting in many days of long hours still getting her 'charges' in the system in order as well as working with several new arrivals. It is a challenge that she's enjoying dealing with.
Sad news from Laura yesterday (Monday) that her husbands mother had a massive heart attack on Sunday. Laura is trying to work out her husband going to Las Vegas to see his mother and being there to help as he can. She was supposed to be having surgery yesterday. We haven't heard from Laura today to know how things are going. We just hope she'll have a speedy and complete recovery.
Sandy is dealing with a cold and congestion and hoping she'll be in better shape by Valentines day. That's when her and Erik are going to Munich Germany for five days. Erik found some great prices on Price line and surprised her with this trip for Valentines. They've been to Germany several times the past two years and they both really enjoy the country, the scenery, and the people of Germany. I just told her to break down and get a small video camera. Pictures are really nice, but so are the occasional video clips!
That's it for this update. Hope all is well for everyone! Tad

Good Morning, I do hope that Laura's husband's mother has a good recovery from the heart attack soon. All is fine out here in Southern California now that our windstorm we had a week ago this Sunday is over just clear skies and sunny and no winds.The winds had gotten to 55-75 miles an hr it did some damage in different areas.For most of Sunday we couldn't see across the street nor see the mountains there was sand everywhere one one story I had heard about was the wind taking a camper shell from a pickup truck putting it a few yards where it had been on it's side.I am not sure how secure the camper shell was to begin with. Most of our problems were fine sand everywhere I am just now getting everything back in order at times I still can run my hand over some areas and feel the fine sand hopefully I will get it all this week.Got to run take care and a good week to you all.

Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...

Four photos from the California trip

Heading South on I-15 in Utah. I'd kind of missed these 100 mile views as I saw them again while driving through this and our old high desert areas of California. It was still cool here but I got to our old area as I went through San Bernardino at the height of a heatwave with temps in the 90's! All the traffic and congestion of being back in that area for the first time in over 3 years made me glad it was just a visit! I only wished I hadn't been on such a tight time schedule and had a day free to visit with people I hadn't seen in person in almost 5 years! I was so surprised to see Primm (or Stateline Nevada) so deserted! This photo of Whiskey Pete's all but empty, it used to never be this empty, any day of the week! The Hotel is closed except for weekends anymore, only open for gambling and the McDonald's inside was the only 'restaurant' open! I'd gone there first to get a room on the way down to San Diego. I Guess most people just drive the 40 ...
