ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE -- no, I haven't read it yet and haven't even seen the cover, but I too am hearing about it everywhere. Hoping to make long-delayed contact with a real bookstore before the week is over....P. J.

Sarah was a little embarrassed at first in the jacket, but she got used to it quickly. BB, funny story! I can easily imagine it! P. J.

Back in ...Blizzard whiteouts and following a truck. Back in the late 60s my<br />wife and I were driving east out of Salt Lake City. She was driving and I was sightseeing.<br />The blizzard and dusk arrived simultaneously. Those conditions make you feel in the middle of nowhere (even if you ARE)and as<br />we came up on a slow-moving semi<br />truck, I told her to follow his tail lights. So we plodded on in<br />a lonely interstate tandem. He slowed, we slowed- he speeded up,<br />we speeded up. Then he slowed and flashed his right blinker lights.<br />"should I pass him?" "No, there must be an accident or something,<br />stay right on his tail". He stopped, we stopped. Through the<br />blurry snow and fog, we found ourselves on a weight scale!BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388509941702241290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-36339494841648412942015-01-10T05:57:45.106-08:002015-01-10T05:57:45.106-08:00Three nights in a Hastings motel!

I'm a little surprised that such accommodations even exist, but, of course, I'm remembering the Hastings of my youth when I lived in Battle Creek and Hastings was a tiny village off M-37. Sarah does not look too happy in her warm garb. Have you yet read All the Light We Cannot See? I'm hearing lots about it.Karen Casebeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002150769292672779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-80705357788728412352015-01-10T05:02:12.358-08:002015-01-10T05:02:12.358-08:00Motel room is warm.
