Change. It's the one constant. It's everywhere. <br /><br />Re: pet insurance. I heard a NPR program once on people who had taken out pet insurance. Some of the animals had chronic illnesses, others had mysterious allergies, and some felt it was best for baby animals who, like infants, need a lot of upfront care. I recall that someone got insurance for a rather exotic animal and the surgery it required down the road, made the insurance seem worth it. I remember thinking these were people with too much money and too much time on their hands. But after the program, I understood why they would do it.

We have had a lot of little pissy 1 or 2 inch snows accompanied with more fog than I can remember. To me, if it's going to snow, I'd much rather have a bunch of inches of the stuff so I can take the Subaru out and go driving for fun.<br />The new Laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge. A new design with a 13" screen. I love it so far. It runs circles around any other computer I have ever had. I haven't had a Laptop for many years, just didn't need one. I came very close to buying an Apple, but all my office stuff is PC based, yeah you can make it work, but more costly.<br />Take Care,<br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-6896549805684367872010-02-05T09:00:56.591-06:002010-02-05T09:00:56.591-06:00Dan,

They opened up with a big fanfare, that eventually died down. I suppose they are doing okay, but don't really know.<br />Our local historical society has a great group of old pictures on a website. Dom Chang, a while back, did some posts on before and after pictures which I really enjoyed. I may do a few like that in the future. Historical sights here are relative to the age of this city. It wasn't founded until 1870 or so, so we cannot say we are relly old. But Wyatt Earp was a former sheriff here and there is some very interesting history. I may do some more along that line in the future.<br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />Jimcpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-49487616291824499492010-02-05T08:56:14.704-06:002010-02-05T08:56:14.704-06:00Chuck,

Actually, I have a kind of affair with them. My current acquisition is the most sophisticated unit I have ever owned. And I'm glad I had the foresight to splurge a little last summer, when my other one blew up. <br /><br />If I had a regret about this machine, it was in getting a 15" screen instead of the 17" one. But the 17" screen would not fit in my panniers.<br /><br />Your storefront-by-storefront tour of the frontier was very interesting. How long have you lived in this town? There was one thing I missed whether I lived in Lake Placid, NY (super rural) or where I currently live now (40 miles north west of Philly). And that is the kind of super liquor stores you find in New Jersey. <br /><br />The snow is scheduled to start faling here in a matter of hours. I hope your riding weather is better than mine.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted Roads<br />New blog posts every Monday and ThursdayJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-45266928935401586922010-02-04T22:47:00.790-06:002010-02-04T22:47:00.790-06:00Our local paper has been publishing an ongoing ser...Our local paper has been publishing an ongoing series of historic photos of our area. I have realized that making a photographic record of a town is a pretty cool thing. How many people whiz by places every day and never even have a clue about what used to be there? About ventures started and ended? This stuff should be preserved.<br /><br />We actually have a few Krispy Kremes out here. One reason they seem to be popular is that they make donuts available for fund raisers. I do have to say that on a cold morning of riding, getting one hot off the cooker is pretty neat!irondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-65018550618941091972010-02-04T14:31:14.644-06:002010-02-04T14:31:14.644-06:00cpa3485/Jim:

We have never gone anywhere warm during the winter and it was my plan to share our travels via pix and video. I'm not sure I would actually live on an island in the middle of the Pacific. After a time you would have explored all the roads and sights, then what ?<br /> I think much better to be on the mainland somewhere warmer than Kansas.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-74649070719406378182010-02-03T21:51:47.742-06:002010-02-03T21:51:47.742-06:00Wow, what a great tour guide your are.

Just as informative as walking down dark streets in the middle of the night while walking your dog and snapping photos into bedroom windows, whether it be by Bonneville or Nissan.<br /> You sure know a lot about the history of those business's . I noticed there is another Sym rider in your neighborhood.
