Hi Linda,
I do not know what the record snow falls are here in Wyoming but we have snow falls and blizzards early this year. There is still snow on the road and James went to drive into town on Friday and he was driving along slowly with in his limits for the conditions and he said there was a vehicle tail-gating him and then this person in the vehicle pulled out to pass him and no sooner had the vehicle got in front when it got into a slide and fishtailed in front of James. James had to try and take evasive actions so as not to hit this vehicle.
James was shaken up and very angry that this person was so careless, impatient and thoughtless to overtake on obvious snow covered road and nearly cause an accident. James decided to be safe and come back home and he did not get to do the errand that he went out for.
No we do not have a fireplace in our rented house, there is a gas/electric furnace that just decided to stop running two days ago and we cannot get the pilot light to relight. Just as well we have two electric oilfilled radiator heaters that we could use. We could not get hold of the landlord to get one of the men to come and fix it. We have had some overdue maintance being in the process of being done and the guy comes in with his snow/dirt covered boots and does not take them off to come inside! He does one job at a time because he does not bring tools, parts etc to get the other jobs completed. Talk about blonde!!!
James and I are more determined to leave this cowboy State and move where it is warmer.
Amanda
