Honestly I no longer wonder why people don’t want to go into law enforcement anymore. This is how they’re treated and worse, and there’s very little support for them. (Though he is fortunate to have it.) I reminded him that soon he’ll be in the air, and he said, “Thank God”. 
On NYE there was another lady that was just completely out of control berating staff and wouldn’t leave. The spitter also had hidden contraband which could’ve been an issue. I worry about that.
It's turned to rain here. So far all it's doing is making the snow that fell even heavier. I don't know where they came up with it being 48 degrees today, it's up to 37, which is pretty much where we started at 10 this morning. I cleared all the paths and where the plow kept dumping stuff. I called my nephew who's a big shot at the state highway department and told him to tell the guy to turn his blade. He's going way too close to the storm drain gulleys, and in turn he's throwing snow 10' up onto everyone's driveways. I have 8 steps going down the bank in the front yard to the street, and 6 of them were covered with plowed snow. That's a little much.
I’d say we have about 4 inches now. It’s supposed to last until 3am. It is really starting to come down heavy now. They snow is heavy and wet, the evergreen branches are loaded.
I’ve been online off and on today trying to find some things I need for vacation ( who am I kidding, want is more like it). QOTD. How do all of you feel about packing cubes…. Compression or not? Any brands you have had good luck with?
Pea… sorry to hear about your son, I too understand why people want to get out of those types of professions.
All of King, Snohomish, Pierce, WA counties would be shutdown and the grocery shelves would be bare.
Agree with @Judique. We really like using our packing cubes (regular, not compression). I can fit one week's worth of clothes into 1 large, 1 medium, and 1 small cube. Dirty laundry is packed back into the cubes (lights, darks, colors) for easy unpacking and laundry sorting at home. We have cubes from Amazon, Rick Steves, and Magellan's -- all work fine.
Sorry to hear about your fall, but glad you aren't feeling to bad. That's great they can get you into the MRI sooner.
Sounds like your documenting everything is the way to go.
It's still windy here as well. Our tides were super high, highest we've ever seen at our place. Sounds like Summer is on the right track - although- and I'm not a shrinking violet so maybe it's just me - I would at this point pepper everyone with a copy of that letter and not wait till Friday. Copy her teachers, copy the county school superintendent, whomever heads the PTA, the State superintendent and her local State Reps. & Senators. Copy them all on the letter and include the fact that she has brought this up multiple times (and on what dates and to whom she spoke to) with no resolution. Higher Ups will be pissed she's calling them all out and deal with it so she stops making noise. Squeaky wheel and all that.....
It's taken very seriously in MD, but they live in WV, where it's not taken anywhere near as seriously as it should be. Gracie is a sophomore, as is this boy. This mother is apparently a terror, and she intimidates the school. Her precious son would never do anything like that. Summer said if she gets nowhere with the school system, then it's time to take it higher up in the system. Gracie already has enough problems, she doesn't need this kind of thing to be happening. This is going beyond bullying and turning into harassment. If it doesn't stop, he's going to keep doing it, (he's done it to other girls, and nothing has been done.). One of those girls could end up taking what he says seriously and hurt themselves, and no one wants that to happen.
