I assume the same is true in Washington. But it is a great incentive to seek retirement as early as possible.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-50951760631959766102008-12-15T21:44:00.000-06:002008-12-15T21:44:00.000-06:00I talked to our son Phil in Bellingham, WA tonight...I talked to our son Phil in Bellingham, WA tonight, and it was 19 degrees and more snow expected. It makes it even harder for him to take when he knows I'm sitting here in Mazatlan in shorts!<BR/><BR/>Most people can just take time to enjoy the white stuff but his business involves deliveries and it makes it just a huge pain in the neck. <BR/><BR/>I guess he just needs to work hard so he can retire one day to Mexico, too.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016075941355264454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-87223368097374037342008-12-15T13:20:00.000-06:002008-12-15T13:20:00.000-06:00OK.

It was a refreshing walk.<BR/><BR/>1st Mate -- Snow fascinates me for about a day. Sun I can talk all week long.<BR/><BR/>Teresa -- Jiggs reverted to puppydom in the snow. I had trouble getting to come back inside. Because of the ice, I decided to walk to work. It was a good decision.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Aighmeigh -- By the time I walked to work, my hands felt like snowballs.
