Well, at least I know that you're alive and breathing. We've actually been a little busier than normal here, but I don't expect it to last very long.

Oh so true Chief. It has been pretty quite here. I just returned from your side of the state. I was over there for the Contemporary Leadership Conference in Mount Vernon. Gordon Graham and Chief Paul Stein were the speakers. It was a great conference and Regioin 3 were great hosts. If anyone has not had the chance to see Gordon Graham then you should! He brings a great outside view on our service. He is one of the best speakers I have heard in along time.
Anywho, I hope that you don't get washed down stream over there. They were having some concerns about flooding, and some flooding happening, when I left. Stay safe and learn something new today.

So as we start a new year how are things going with everybody? Enjoying the winter? hating it? I know for myself I'm really getting a bit tired of the snow. I've shoveled more snow in the last few weeks than I want to shovel in the next few years. I've had chains on my car more days in the last four weeks than off as well. I really do like snow...but when a normal season is about 45 in and we've gotten 70in already and the season has barely begun, that's just a bit much.
It seems incredible to me that it was less than I month ago i took my last bike ride. Ok my rant is over....

PS also...somewhere in all that snow in my front yard...and driveway....is my cell phone. which until things melt will stay wherever it is. Lost it somewhere between the house and the fire station on the way to a call the week before Christmas.

The snow's mostly gone in my area, but it reminds quite cold, and frequently windy. Fortunately, our power company put most of their infrastructure underground several years ago, so we've managed to keep our electricity. I've only had to use chains once--heading west over Snoqualmie Pass from visiting my sister in the Yakima area. I'd had to buy a new set of chains, since I'd forgotten that I'd bought new tires a couple of years ago, and the set I had no longer fit. I think I'm pretty much good to go now!
