I been looking over the ideas and for the older people they dont always drive after dark and I am one of them. Sat is not bad since most do work and when work as a nurse weekend was hard to come by but it should be decieded and then if more would come to the meeting then so be it. ok I cant drive in this weather also we have a lot of snow about 18 inches. then I dropped the yard stick and told my son we have 36inches as the snow covered the yard stick by the way my computer hads a bad power box and this had to be fixed and so I had the guy to hook up my old computer and now i can email at least it is great as the snow sure dont let me out much and it is cold also. keep going with the ideas they sound great .
