Good morning from Stockton&#33;  have a mild day ahead of us with rain in the forecast - if only they wouldn&#39;t tease like this...<br />
<br />
Our big day yesterday was that we had a freeway collapse in the Bay area.  Tanker caught fire and compromised the steel in an off ramp at the 580-680-80 interechange going into Oakland.  I, for one, am darn glad I don&#39;t work in the City today&#33;  No one, except the trucker, was injured and he&#39;s expected to survive.<br />
<br />
Quiet day of housework ahead for me, although a walk does sound pretty good about now.  <br />
<br />
Made up for my days of non-pain by dropping a bottle of conditioner on my foot yesterday.  It hit ju-u-ust right.  Oh well, it&#39;s stuff like this that makes like interesting.<br />

Tonia, the loss of your friend&#39;s son is very sad,but at least he didn&#39;t have to suffer for months or years.  You are right about seizing the day.  Ever since the most recent loss to cancer, we&#39;ve tried to do that.  It&#39;s one reason why I&#39;m so busy all the time.<br />
<br />
Joey - love you new headshot, BTW&#33;  As an old German lady would tell us, &quot;Looks like a bit of the devil in that one.&quot;  I was sorry to hear that you lost the place, but there&#39;s a reason  even if it&#39;s not clear at the moment.<br />
<br />
Hey, Robert, do they have unzip lines?  That sounds more my speed.<br />
<br />
Jackie - you have the proper attitude for travel.  We used to drive from Vermont to Michigan (where my dad&#39;s four sisters lived) and it was always a race for him to see if he could bet the time he made the year previous.  To this day, I hate road trips (and are none too fond of cars period).<br />
<br />
Rose - glad to hear your son&#39;s graduation made it without a hitch.  Isn&#39;t it a great feeling to have them out of school?  <br />
<br />
Shari - how are you feeling today?  Does the warmer weather give you any relief?  <br />
<br />
Here&#39;s a big sloppy kiss to everyone and I&#39;ll see you in May...oh wait, that&#39;s tomorrow...<br />
<br />
Have a grand day, all&#33;<br />
<br />
Charlie
