Snow time at all.

May 27. It snowed AGAIN in Flagstaff. It has been one snowstorm after another for Northern Arizona this Spring.

Bot Time

May 24, 2019
These food delivery bots are scampering around campus at NAU. Sierra says it's interesting to see the students interacting with them. Rushing over to help them when they get stuck. If one stops and seems confused a student would say "You OK little dude?" Have to watch for them or you could trip or get run down. She says at the staging line for returns it's a no human allowed area as they get rambunctous.

Wrench

Saturday February 23 the repair guy showed up 10 minutes after the "schedule window" to fix the washing machine. Fussed with it for awhile and installed the new internal hose. He started it up, was satisfied the leak was taken care of and left. What followed was the worst clanging and pinging I've ever heard from that washer.
Monday the new repair guy showed up and actually pulled a wrench out of the machine. Went through a load okay. Excited to see what the weekend laundry brings.
So it really was a wrench in the machine.

February 26 2019

The day after the big storm, Sierra, her friends and roommates left to drive to Disneyland for a long planned trip. The road closures after the storm was over but the roads were still icy. The car hit an icy patch and slid into a snowbank. They pushed it out and decided to put snow chains on. Another car hit the icy patch sending a car into their car. Sierra was knocked down, but other than neck and back pain was mostly okay. One roommate went under a truck, another one was injured. All told everyone was amazing intact and not killed. They were extremely lucky. The car was totaled, and other than some stitches, bruises and cuts, they got through it.
