It's COLD!!

It hasn’t been too bad at all this week. I enjoyed being home on Monday and Tuesday evening, just chilling and doing stuff on the computer.
I ordered some new lenses for the light-bar on top of my truck last week. Right now, my strobes are all blue and my flashers are mostly blue. The blue is not as bright and does not show up as well, so I ordered some amber lenses. I was informed by the guy who ordered them for me, that the lenses came in Tuesday. I am suppose to go by his apartment this evening and have him put them in. I am planning on taking all the blue flasher lenses off the front and replacing them with amber lenses…then, I will probably make the four flashers on the back of my light-bar half blue and half amber. I am still not sure yet. It all depends on how many amber lenses I actually have now. I am not sure how many were ordered.

Well, last night, we received our first snow of the year. The flakes were very big, but they just melted when they hit the street. There was a little dusting on the grass, but it was very short-lived. Forecasters originally said we would not get anything because the Arctic cold front was dry….but, once again, they were wrong. It lasted until around midnight, but it did not cause any problems. Speaking of last night, one of our adult youth leaders (along with three of our students from church), stopped in the street to assist a wounded dog. The youth leader left her truck running and was just feet away, when two black males jumped in the truck and took off. They did not drive very far, but when they bailed, they took my friend’s purse, keys and ID (along with a few other personal belongings in the truck). She was able to keep her phone, but they took everything else. I checked with her this morning and there has been no news on her stolen property.

This weekend (Monday) is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It’s another holiday for us, so I will get a three-day weekend. I was going to go ahead and work for one of my co-workers, but decided to just enjoy the day off. This coming Saturday, I am driving to Bethany to attend a CPR/First Aid Certification class. I have to attend it for REACT, so I can keep my certification up to date. I guess that will probably take care of most of my Saturday.

Other than that, it is very cold outside and it’s slow at work.

By the way, I am finally listed on the REACT International website as the Public Information Officer…..take a look.
