Thanks Kim, I will keep that in mind. Blue sky, what's that. The sun was out

for part of the day and the students were complaing my room was too bright even

with the lights off. If our weather forcasters are correct, Monday will be

another " snow day " home from school in northeast Ohio. I have to teach through

Wed. the 22nd. The students are " done now " so I will review and try to keep

things on a even keel. I won't mind a snow day. We get 5 each winter and make

any days up beyond that. But what would you AZ people know about " snow days " .

Just kidding of course.

I did have snow days as a kid in Flagstaff, AZ, but AZ snow is fun as a kid.

It snows, you play, the clouds clear, the sky is blue, the snow melts until

next time. The only bad part is the ugly cinders left on the roads, but at

least cinders don't rust your car. Very different than what my parents

would tell us of Iowa snow drifts and gray skies.

Of course here in the desert when we have a hint of snow, it is exciting and

beautiful.
