Good Morning Train Riders,
This morning it was 4º (feels like -15º) and windy with snow showers and the high is to be 5º and windy with snow showers during the morning and a snow accumulation of about 1” and wind NNW 25-35 mph. We are in a winter weather advisory until 6:00 PM today. We also have a wind chill advisory that frostbite can occur in just a few minutes of exposure. It sounds like a good day to stay inside.
MJ came down with the flu yesterday, aching all over and has a fever. She started on her Tamiflu last night. Yesterday Rachael was feeling a bit better but said her throat still hurts so she is taking Advil for that in addition to the Tamiflu and she feels good enough to want to eat. I hope she is feeling better when she wakes up this morning.
MJ said that on the way to pick up Hannah and Sarah after school the roads were already slippery and some cars had slid off the road and into the corn fields. When she got to Lincoln the city workers were just getting out to salt the streets. Sarah’s Christmas program was cancelled and I wonder when or if it will be rescheduled since there are only 3 more school days until Christmas break. Hannah was to sing the National Anthem before the basketball games last night at her school but they were cancelled because of the weather.
Another Japan memory: I remember living in Narashino, a suburb of Tokyo. We chose this place to build our house because it was close to the American School in Japan where the kids went to school and I worked and also close to the train station where Bill could catch the train to go to the places where he worked. He preferred to take the train rather than drive in the busy Tokyo traffic, which was nice because that way the station wagon was available for taking the kids to school on rainy days. In nice weather we would ride our bikes to school in the morning and there was a fairly steep hill we went down. We couldn’t just coast and had to brake our bikes going down and it was fun but walking the bikes back up after school wasn’t much fun. In the winter it could be chilly or downright cold but we got used to it. We only had one busy street we had to cross. I loved my bike back then but haven’t ridden one in years. More tomorrow.
