Good morning all. Some confusing weather here, it's been overcast for the past two days, chilly and windy yet there's not been a drop of rain since the end of January. Oh, they did get about an inch of snow up in Flagstaff which accounts for the below normal temps here. Last week, the lows here were in the 60's, the past two days, that's where the highs were. And yes, it's going to get warmer very quick, we've go a forecast for 90 on Sunday.
Friday night they will shut down one of the busiest intersections in the valley. Bell road will be closed for up to eight months while they build an overpass over Grand Ave. and the BNSF mainline that runs parallel to it. It's a big deal for us because the detour route will funnel all that traffic over the one street that we use to get out of our neighborhood. Oh yeah, the other street that we can use is torn up for a new surface and realignment and will be that way for a while yet.
Really great planning, shut or restrict every major east-west street at the same time, especially since the new freeway to the north won't be finished for a while as well, they started that project about two years ago. My wife and I used to talk about our choice of business that we went into. We were thinking that instead of building security systems, we should have been making road barriers. There has to be a fortune in that. 
We're here Frank, we check in every chance we get to see what's going on. I wish I could get my phone to get me on line, and maybe I could post more often. My phone has that capability, but it gets stubborn sometimes. For instance, while sitting in Denny's, it says it can't find Denny's Wi-Fi. Why not, everyone else there seems to do it. Even at home, I can't seem to get my password right and can't connect with my phone... :?
