Subj : Re: Entitled... was: I'm not To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon Jan 27 2020 02:55:16 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 19-Jan-2020 09:06 <=- So... I had high hopes of getting some catchup done yesterday... and then got first a 2 1/2 hour phone call in the middle of answering the four to Daryl.... then it was time to fix supper, and after supper, got a string of overlapping calls that lasted for another 1 1/2 hours... I gave up on doing messages, and just sent up the few I did have... I normally don't try to do messages on Sundays, but decided to at least do a few tonight to make up for yesterday.... NB>> In the interim, we've had a few inch or less, maybe a trace more NB>> storms, with warm weather between, so not staying around... At the NB>> moment, we are in the midst of a bit more aggressive storm... but NB>> still only likely to be 3-4 inches or so all told... Temps almost got NB>> into single digits last night... it's warmed into the 30s today.. But NB>> there's talk of wintry mix over night... that could ice things up... BM> Might be the remnants of the storm I had. Received about 4«" of snow, BM> topped with sleet and rain so heavier than normal. Sections were BM> heavier and didn't seem to always correspond to low spots - in the BM> driveway nor drifting. Probably was part of the same system.... :) BM> This morning woke to -1ų with a wind chill of -19ų. But we've not been having temps as cold as you, thankfully... :) BM>>> Yes - trying to guess when to go out can be interesting: there were BM>>> times when went out before breakfast and spent pretty much all the BM>>> time clearing the driveway and cars and running late so grabbed BM>>> something to eat when get to the store. Other times 'well that was BM>>> easy' and have plenty of time. NB>>> Yup... and best to have budgeted too much time than too little... BM>> Right. I could always find something to do, even if it's just watch BM>> the end of a show before heading off to work. NB>> If the weather is iffy enough, I might use the extra time to give NB>> a cushion in case the driving isn't all that nice, either.... BM> Have done that too; sometimes sitting in the parking lot waiting for BM> someone with an outside key to open up. (I had an inside key.) Yup... and again, better to have guessed wrong that direction... ;) NB>>>> That could work, if you happened to actually know someone like NB>>>> that... generally the billionaires are living in an entirely NB>>>> different world from us... :) BM>>> Let's see -- the last time I dressed up in a tuxedo was..... NB>>> Indeed... that would be never, for either myself or Richard... ;) BM>> Guess we're just going to have a visit from what's-his-name from _The BM>> Lifestyles of the Rich and Obnox- err, Famous_! NB>> Even he'd not likely visit the likes of us... :) BM> He doesn't know what he's missing! Nor does he care, more'n likely... ;) BM> NB>>> Yup... if one wishes to travel one needs must get the appropriate NB>>> paperwork and pay the associated costs thereof.... ;) BM>> True -- wonder how the "take a year off to backpack through Europe" BM>> thing wiil be effected? I never did, don't know anyone who did, but BM>> envisioned it as more a 'where the wind blows me' type of thing. BM>> Passport seemed to allow anywhere, the upcoming need for a visa might BM>> put a crimp on that random travelling. ...Maybe not much difference BM>> if European Union -- on my past travels there were some trips when I BM>> didn't even know crossed a border except the eventual notice the BM>> signage wasn't in German. NB>> Maybe the visa you've been hearing about would be valid anywhere in NB>> the EU... that would make it easy enough still, I guess... And would NB>> make better sense.... BM> I'm sort of thinking that: would make sense. Will find out when the BM> time comes - and will triple-check the countries. And if just says BM> "European Union" will have to remember Switzerland is not a member of BM> the EU (but is part of the trade agreement). And by then, Britain probably won't be part of the EU, either.... ttyl neb ....
