The "I Woke Up Earlier Than Usual This Morning....By Choice", edition.

I set the iPad to "Here We Go Again", Whitesnake.  Brian likes the other song...but I forget the name. Lol. So on Monday, the blizzard caused some issues at the clinic.  Like the staff getting there and like the transport services for the patients refusing to pick them up because of the unplowed side streets.  Today one of my guys came in. His last session was Friday. He is feeling really awful. 6 days without treatment. Because of no transportation. That pisses me off. The transport companies refusal to transport can kill you. And old guy and large guy STILL aren't here. :-(   Old guy just came in.  He was placed in another module. Glad to see him. :)

On a much happier note, my tech is back today. She fell sick a few weeks before Thanksgiving.  So so glad she's  back!!!  And on yet another note, we pulled up the building this morning and it's kind of dark. A transformer went out. Sigh. We're running on generator. Times are being cut. I'm losing 30 minutes. I'll still get the fluid off, just quicker...not optimal, but it happens. I was short 15 minutes Monday because of the weather related issues. Sigh. Looking for Friday to be normal.  Oh yeah, no TV today or WiFi because of the, you know, running on a generator. Lol. Even the lighting is limited, no phones, and no computers for the staff. They've gone to plan B for recording data...pen and paper forms. Welcome back to My Tech!!!  <sarcasm>.  Oh yeah,  this will be published when I get home. No network here today.  Well now that's an untrue statement.....

So on to my planned topic. Oaktown 357. "Juicy a Gotcha Krazy". We thought of this song when we heard the news of a certain. top cop. ;-)  Shawn had a train to catch at 5:30 this morning. She's on the way to Quebec City.  Why?  She's attending the international conference of the Society of Historical Archeologists. Why?  She's presenting the findings of her project from last summer. She was the lead on a dig and research in Detroit for a suspect speakeasy for the Purple Gang.  She mentioned it was, in fact, confirmed as a speakeasy, but hasn't been determined if it involved the Purple Gang.  Also while in Vegas we visited The Mob Museum. It was pretty cool to see details and artifacts about The Purple Gang there. Artifacts like Tommy Guns and photos and documents. She had gone to the archives for the State of Micigan last summer and got the  arrest records for several members of The Purple Gang, so we'd seen some of the faces.  As an aside, The Mob Museum was just plain good and quite informative. Even mention of Jimmy Hoffa.  I recommend it. 

"What I Say", Ray Charles.  Hey the power is back on and I've got WiFi now!!!  Her trip has her stopping over in Toronto and Montreal. We've been as far as Montreal, and of course that is a story for another day.  We discovered the distance from Montreal to Quebec City is further than Windsor to Montreal and Quebec City is near Vermont and Maine (!). Long train ride. She's going to take lots of photos. We got her the Monopoly (Canadian) money yesterday.  Yes I call it monopoly  money. Lol. It's blue and purple and red.  And now it has many textures and a plastic strip running through it. No making that money on your printer. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing the photos. Signing off.  The roads are still pretty bad. ICY. Maybe it will get warm enough to use the salt soon.  Signing off with Whodini, "Five Minutes of Funk". Yes, I preferred then over Run DMC. Sacrilege!!!!! Yeah, so what. Lol.
