Item #1: Parma Street Clouds <\/span> \"\"<\/p>\n

Various sites claim that “cloud streets” typically form fairly straight lines over large flat areas such as the ocean. Ohio isn’t an ocean but the area next to Lake Erie (or parts of) is flatter than an ocean under a good breeze.<\/p>\n

While in the region, there are some nice photos of Niagara Falls at this site: Ice is nice<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Item #2: Vaccine <\/span> \"\"
\nWe went for the 1st dose of the Pfizer Covid vaccine on Friday afternoon. Two hours later I cannot (feel) tell where the needle poke was. I was talking to one of the volunteers and not looking. Maybe I got just a skin-pinch for some sort of test.
\nOur entry was at 3:30 and the folks had give over 400 shots.
\nThere is a second site in the County. Hope the Saturday morning paper will provide information. We ought to be near half vaccinated. <\/p>\n

Somewhat related is the number of times we keep having to give our e-mail, phone #, address, and more in a county where we have a “medical portal” that’s is supposed to keep track of health records. If this sort of stuff is what is being designed into self-driving cars \u2013 the lack of connectivity and intelligence, I mean \u2013 such cars should have a bright orange, with black skulls, paint job. We’d know to pull to the side when one is spotted.<\/p>\n

Item #3: Snow <\/span> \"\"<\/p>\n

Washington is having a snow season. Snoqualmie Pass, 70 miles west of us has an accumulation of about 33 feet. There is 37 feet at the pass north of that. Farther north the road has been closed since last November 13th.
\nMany people are pleased with this. Others, not so much. Spring melt will have some flooding, so that is already being discussed; in the local paper early in the week. There has been 2 or 3 feet of new snow since then. We got about 5 inches.<\/p>\n

To prevent snow coming down on traffic the roads are often closed, say from 4 AM to 6 AM. Various means are used to bring the snow down, then they clear what hits the road. Travelers need to stay informed and prepared. <\/p>\n

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
