These icicles were on the lilac just two days ago. They are now gone and it has been raining buckets today (intermittent). There are several major highways closed due to mudslides and avalanches both to the East and the West of here.

Ron and I managed to clear out one of the many bursting closets today and we have quite a large box for donation and a couple of others for recycling and trash. We have several more "rats-nests" to clear out of here in the coming weeks.

I also managed to do about 1/2 of the reading I am supposed to do for my class this week-end. It seems strange to be taking a basic first aid course after having been an EMT for so long and working as a Telemetry tech. Ah well, protocols change and some are VERY different here than what I am used to. A first aider is even allowed to suggest and administer some medications here. . .A HUGE no-no as an EMT in California.
