Hello Warren, and everyone ... from a really windy place tonight
as a report comes from Michigan tonight of the wind speeds hitting
130 plus kmh ... and that is fast...

Oh my ... our lights are a flickering oh..oh...anyhow with 46F
plus today, and sunny, and the snow melting, I did manage to
get out for no mail ...I wonder where my bills went? <g> but I
got to the local motion-lotion for a refuel... and sure enough
there at the pumps...NO cell usage. Now to checkout a few others
when I have to go to the market sometime.... the stations where
they charge more then here..< C$ 1.09:9 / litre today > as they
are like way up to C$ 1.20 and beyond.

Yeah that was interesting, them going off in someone's pocket
or shirt or on the belt... and really if this an others pose a
threat at the station then better to wait until no one is there
to refuel... as ...well maybe oneday...they will search cars
before entering....this stuff is getting costly like fresh water.

It was a surprise... but then the sign wasn't just put up.
On the inside of the wall, for whomever on duty was a list of
things to be done, and phone numbers to call ... like can you
imagine this at a refueling station going down the list hahahaha.
Ok next posting...
