Lorraine????  We now name winter s snow storms????  With great authority they said starting 4am,,,,, I got up  5am. to look---aint nutting yet..  however every school system around here has already called off school... I won't tempt fate by saying they always overestimate but looking at the radar floating toward us ,   if that's correct,   then it's going to snow for quite a while and heavily and looks like probably five or six hours worth till lunchtime and although I'm sure I would have no trouble getting out to go to the doctor's office at 9:00 I might not get back in---  gone are the days that I could just walk up the driveway----can't do that anymore so I think I'd better stay inside and watch it and I doubt very much that Judy makes it for the same reason she might not get home..  if I had my plow on I might have some fun with it but that's not been allowed I think probably I'm glad of that somebody has ordered a dump truck full of sand which is carefully covered up that will be good if we get to ice ---and it was dumped right next to the thing that will spread it which is next to the tractor that would spread it if the spreader were attached.  – otherwise it is buckets and shovels by any able bodied human... not fun...  the spreader is very efficient. – four grains of sand  every square inch.. or thereabouts--- it does fling it around centrifugally about 20 feet wide so it is very efficient... sometimes the town of topsfield guy ( Richard a guy from the local coffee shop who felt sorry for me sliding out for coffee at one point ) will come in and turn around and leave- while sanding the entire place with the town’s  combination of sand and ?salt...

 

We are pelleted--- 7 bags full ! so far I am ready--- I should also include a long extension cord to the “training room apartment” ... because the guest house is the only place without an instant on. Generator—and I did find out—pellets are great but when the fan/( electricity) goes out   the smoke all comes in the room.... where in the wonderful wood stove smoke rises and does not need to be pushed out thru a wall making the pellets “electrically dependent....”  I am told they have a battery run assist for that purpose....  which I , currently,  do not have—hence the extension cord..                   

 

Now for the injectable report--- “grab any handful of fat and you can inject there” was the MD’s suggestion ( when I complained that my tummy was full of purple lumps so I was running out of shootable room....) --- so I quite happily shot my thigh—and it was simple... I don’t know if it was a one time occurance.  But—it did sting there a bit—where the tummy shot was painless... I certainly have a lot of shootable fatty places...

Made more by the wonderful ice cream from meletharb’s in wakefield--- I am  an expert on a few things and iceceeram is one of them...== it and the corresponding open dish of hand whipped cream topping is worth getting of the 95  highway (at main street Lynnfield—east  to the lights and it is at that intersection). Even judy agreed as we over indulged hastily adding places to inject if needed...

 

I am impressed with lahey’s computerized system ,,....?” epic”--- handed to  me as I left the cardiologists office was a piece of paper telling me where I had just been... where I was due to go to next( the lab---What time and where online  my lab results should be  on file at www whatever—just a few hours later... ) and an appointments  for the next week (hemotology in Peabody the next day...). with an after visit summary—of vital stats and comments.......

Amazing... gone are the days------- I remember the days of tom having to run to the medical records  department  at 2am to dictate some patient reports so he would be allowed to admit a patient to the hospital--- who might be waiting in the emergency room “for a bed”. When in actual fact he was waiting for tom’s records to be updated to “close to current.”---there are soooo many behind the scenes stories--- worst of which was tom would often be the surgical assist for a surgeon... who drank????? 

Now  techonology enables the surgeon to  be 1000’s of miles via satellite....away as long as some rat does not chew some wire 16 feet from the patient.

 

Sooo snow will start at 4am?   Ok.... it is 6:25am  and by my open door report—not one flake has fallen....

Weather forcasting?  Who was that president who said “ I’m from Missouri”. Meaning  “prove it”----TRUMAN??
