Tom's Mom's favorite quote: Life by the yard is hard, but inch by inch it's a cinch! Tom's in an electric wheelchair with a joy stick but is still speeding through the neighborhood and still doing his leather carving in his (ahem!) studio. aka the shed.Tom said:Aye, you tell 'em Margi.
Nice hearing from you, it's been a while. Trust that you're both doing OK.

I'm doing great, thanks for asking!. Got a lot in the Pahrump co-op to use as a home base, planning an extended tour through the SW this winter, and I'm currently in LA going to the big RV show tomorrow. Don't worry, I left my checkbook at home.Tom and Margi said:How are you doing? Loving retirement?

Yes I am aware of the issues with buried lines.. Especially in Shakey towns.. but they don't start forest fires.

I wonder how many poor souls will perish due to the power outages?
