Tuesday, Feb 4th

Happy birthday Anna, hope your day was special!
  It was a sunny day, but the temp only made it to a high of around 60
  Our cable guys got here today, this was the 5th visit, different crew every time.  These guys got the cable connected, so we have both it and wifi from Mediacom working in our unit.  We never connected the device that would give us the music channels, nor the one that gives us movie channels as they are so huge and required all of our cables to be re-routed, so it didn't seem worthwhile.
  Richard and Evelyn got here late in the morning, so we visited with them for a while as we waited.  Then Marg made Reuben sandwiches for lunch in the rv.
  After lunch we went for a drive down to Florence.  It is an old town out of the wild west and they had a fire on the old part of the town, so there were lots of media vehicles on-site.  The pics of the fire have been all over the media because it is the county elections office.  The town is also known for the prisons, there are some massive ones on the edge of town.  Pretty scary looking places with the razor wire and guard towers with capacity of handling a lot of bad people.  There are some neat old buildings, all related to the history of the area.



The old courthouse is a show piece in the center of the historic area of town. 
  When we got back we had happy hour, just one mind you.  We are all concerned with the DUI laws here.  If you get picked up for being over the legal limit, there is mandatory 2 week jail sentence, plus all the other fines and stuff.  After seeing the prisons today, the jail idea was definitely out for us. 
  Then off to the Golden Corral, as Richard & Evelyn haven't been to a buffet here yet.  They are scheduled to fly home tomorrow, so we were really glad to have a chance to spend the day with them.  Unfortunately my cousin Barb was in the area, but we had already made commitments to the Proulx's, hopefully we will see Barb another day.
