Hi, Indianabob! :)

  Both of my parents were in the U.S. Air Force in Missouri. :) They moved around a lot when I was really little, (North Dakota, Florida, Flagstaff, Arizona) and then they were both honorably discharged before I really remembered all the different places we lived. My earliest memories are in Phoenix, AZ...and then we moved to the Seattle area in Washington state when I was five. Then when I was 11 years old, my family moved to a little town in Oregon called Vernonia. It's a logging town..:D I knew lots of folks that had similar (hazardous) jobs to your friend you told me about. I left Vernonia when I was 18 to live at the Oregon Coast... I have visited several places in the Pacific Northwest, but I've only lived in areas within an hour or two of Portland for some reason. :P I met my husband in Portland, and we have moved all over the Portland Metro area in our 11 years of marriage.

 Grants Pass is a four or five hour drive south from us...I live in one of many suburbs of Portland, but I would love to move somewhere more rural.  Urban life doesn't really suit me anymore..:P

  I was a little confused about something you said in your post, and maybe I read it wrong, so I will just ask :)...You said you considered moving to Oregon with your friend, and that you both considered joining the S.F.P.D. Were you both thinking of then relocating to California? San Francisco is about 400 miles south of Grants Pass, although Grants Pass is only about 60 miles from the Northern border of California...:P

  I've actually never been to California...my little sister moved there, though. :)

The other night, whilst we lay softly, warmly, comfortably and soundly asleep, God opened up, what seemed to be a ethereal sound vortex above our home. He sent a terrific and sudden, totally unexpected, mega clap of resounding, reverberating thunder, into our bedroom!  It was as if my heart was the target! The astonishing loud presence of rumbling, low and rich, decibel super-sound, matched with the draped shadows of blessed peace in our room, and seemed to resonate past any physical boundaries!  God Himself had opened the dimensions of the earth realm with a command of deep, electric waking! Right over our house, through the roof, through my resting mind, and straight into my heart, God didn’t miss to astound and absolutely thrill me again!

Well, that’s in other words :D  ~ we’re in our rainy season here in South Africa! It rained hard and heavy in the early hours of this morning too! 

Act 14:17  yet He has not left Himself without a witness by doing good, by giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, and by filling you with food and joyful hearts."

Act 17:26  From one man he made every nation of humanity to live all over the earth, fixing the seasons of the year and the boundaries they live in,

Blessings brothers and sisters

Longhorn, you should move up in the world and purchase a thermometer.   It's this stick looking thing with a red column in it that moves up and down when a temperature change is detected.   Generally one tries to nail this magnificient tool to a post near a window (good for reading INSIDE the house).   It's a cool gadget that really does away with the southern breath test.    But don't try purchasing one of the fine items in Minnesota, should you move there, as they don't use the thermometer.   In Minnesota they apparently go by the 'test the winter water and ice' method.  For further interesting explanation consult mcmiller........ ;D.     

And that helps explain why Minnesotians re-hired Favre.   Brain-freeze.

Or, you can use the 'who let the dog out!!!!!??..' method, like me this morning at 3:30am.............13 degrees......and Cisco decides it's time for his good master to take him for a brisk walk.     May he rest in peace.   (jk)
