    Not only in AZ, Opus. My next oldest sister (90) lives in her home in West Point, MS, with two shifts of caregivers. One at 7:00 AM, swapped with another at 7:00 PM. She suffered a stroke and her left side is partially paralyzed and she cannot walk. Wheelchair to move about the house, recliner to spend the day in.
    Cost of these 2 is $300.00 a month less than a nursing home in town. BUT, she still has the expense of utilities, groceries, an auto expenses. (They take her out to doctor, hairdressers, major needs to be there.)
    She has only had 2 jobs in her life. 1st at a clothing store for a year or so out of high school, then at a local bank for 60 years.

    Excerpt from local news on her retirement...
    (Her younger sister xxxxxxx xxxxxxx is now retired and presently in xxxxx in West Point. “Dot” went to work at the same bank on 3/19/1953. She reluctantly retired In March of 2013, making it exactly 60 years.)
    Same job, same building, same hours, and walking with her sister those same six blocks for 36 years.

    Employer/Employee loyalty has changed over the years and wages have increased.

    Naw, It is a gift. Actually skips some generations in some kinfolks.... A blessing when it occurs. (The skips, that is.)

    And what is so hard about following those instructions? Yet might as well be in "Greek" according to what you guys say today.

    So strange. Back in the day, busy stop, small gravel lot, everyone managed to get in, eat/fuel, get out without needing to go ask for movement of banging into another. Now a 20 acre spread for the stop, and all is a madhouse of mismanagement and parking chaos.

    It appears that he had a brother, but Darwin got the best of him

    It appears that the snow blower will be required to be into service prior to the BdoubleEdoubleRUN

    Give it time. It will melt eventually. Have a beer and relax.
