The List 4893 TGB
To All,
I hope that you all had a Happy New Year. Thanks to all the prayers and good wishes for my sister. . We drove to Phoenix and made it from Poway in 4 hours and 15 minutes arriving just in time to see her rolled into the preop. While waiting the folks there were saying that many folks make it that far many times and something happens to stop the process. Most of the time the liver is not a match or has some problem, Within a couple minutes the Transplant team showed up and said it is good and they rushed her out. This was around 10 PM. We received word that all went well around 2AM. She went into Post op and recovery and we got to see her around mid morning. She improved each day. We were with her this morning and headed home.
Regards,
Skip

: CHP video is so touching ...
This was made at Truckee, CA; where the elevation is higher than Denver. It is a bit North of Lake Tahoe close to Reno.
My Christmas Eve - CHP holiday video
The CHP recently released this holiday video and sent all retirees a copy.
The video was made at the Truckee CHP office.
We think you will enjoy seeing it.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Thanks to Clint Having lived in all four corners and in the middle of this country and a bunch more in between I have seen and experienced most of these. It is a beautiful country.
America The Beautiful

Lest we mar the holiday season with multi-media strife, a lot of us have been tuning out the latest breaking news stories in favor of watching sports or warmer human interest coverage. A few have immersed themselves binge-watching uplifting Christmas movies. Yep, the human spirit benefits from positive messages. They nourish happy-brain-cells. In harmony with that spirit, Chuck Finlay sent me the following YouTube video (proof that he shares more than zany humor).
It is a four minute trip, conceived and performed by the Charlie Daniels Band, to reacquaint us with the beauty of our land.
In the spirit of HAPPY NEW YEAR to all, I'm forwarding it to you.
