Ah, I-81, I presume. One of the two stretches from MA to OH that I'm not fond of because of both weather and the road itself. The other is I-80 west of I-81, roughly 70 miles between Clearfield and Clarion. Seems to be fog or icy roads most of the time we drive it around Christmas. Can't wait for the day we don't have to make that trip again when (and if
) we move back to OH.One of my favorite stretches of highway in our country. Were you able to drive along Skyline Drive with the truck? Or did you stick strictly to the interstate?

Glad to hear your Mom's house turned out so nice! I hope she has many happy years and makes lots of great memories and friends living there.
Most tabbies have the M too.No wonder! Two males together? And Maine Coons at that. They do tend to grow big. I pointed out to Pirate once the big M on the top of their heads. Now he looks for it all the time when he spots one.
I am sitting here in amazement at The Pirate. He has always said, if he ever got his hands on a skinner (child molester) he would kill him after he ripped his nuts off. Well, tonight he caught one in the act. He was going into the men's room in the supermarket when he heard a little girl crying and screaming in the ladies room. Instinct told him something was wrong. He opened the door and saw a man molesting a little six year old. The man stood up real fast and my son broke his knuckles hitting him real hard. The man went down. He was on the floor and my son tried to choke him to death. "All I could see Ma was red. I wanted to rip out his Adam's Apple. I was willing to go to prison."
Addie, your son is a hero to that little girl and her parents. Good thing he was in the right place at the right time.

I am enjoying the act of sitting. Now that the weather is warming up (60 today!) my motor is humming a bit faster. Not only did I work outside, but I re-potted three plants, two indoor varieties and a cute little pansy plant that is on my kitchen windowsill for now. Between that, a load of laundry, a bit of cleaning, and making breakfast and dinner, I can't feel the least bit guilty about relaxing. I just hope I can move tomorrow!
How weird...what would be the motive for that?
It's a well known scam to get money from people. If not with the first call, then to establish a relationship. Later the emergency call from some foreign country that they have been arrested or in an accident and need money NOW.
Wow...never heard of that here in UK. I guess it relies on the ability not to detect who the grandson is. I would have thought some elemental questions would sort that out, i.e. name, age etc.
They will sometimes have that info. Someone mentions their grandparent, with a link, on FaceBook. Next thing someone collects enough info to trick the grandparent. Of course it doesn't always work. But, sometimes the panic of grandchild-needs-emergency-medical care or whatever, freaks out the grandparent enough to forget to ask the right questions.
