There are sometimes "visitor" spaces a mere hundred feet or so from the door, but they are usually full of cars with parking stickers that shouldn't be there in the first place, leaving the next available spot at the far end of the lot - if there is an open parking spot at all. I'm probably being unreasonable in expecting an institution who hires a service people to come and do some needed work, to supply a parking place reasonably close to the building for them. It would be an interesting experiment to see how far any of the administrative office denizens could carry my tool case before their knuckles are dragging (assuming they don't normally, of course). > Hope you made it through with little or no ice.

We're right at the Western edge of the action, and have missed the freezing rain so far (but not all that much). That's the good part. Got about an inch of accumulated sleet, with intermittent snow, and about 4" more snow due tomorrow. South and East of us look like they got hit a whole lot worse. I was supposed to have gone out of town this morning to tune for a local community concert deal, but they wisely decided to postpone, so I got to sleep in to just about the time I'd have otherwise been tuning unisons. Didn't pay as well, but it sure was nice. Ron N
