Disability Access Qualification:

[Rockhound]

Sorry I won't be here to read your replies. Headed out to get re-approved by the Local agency that qualifies people as handicapped and have access to the Handicap Transit Bus System here and through out the U.S. since it follows Federal Guidlines for Handicap Access.

It's a bummer in the winter, their is about a foot of standing snow and I nearly passed out trying to dig out, took me two days just to dig from my front door to the road so the Access Bus can pick me up for my appointment.

Here's to wishing me luck, electric wheel chair and all.

Good Luck

[Rockhound]

Well, I'm good for another year of being carried around by a handicap access bus and city bus. The exam, it wasn't much of anything, they asked if their was any changes that would make it easier or harder for me to use these forms of transportation and that's about all. Seems like they could have asked me over the phone, but I guess they had to see me in my chair and with my oxygen on standby. misserable day, freezing fog, wind, snow, and rain, all in the same day. Oh Boy!

What the heck is "freezing fog"?

Seriously. My wife and I were listening to The Weather Channel on the TV just a couple weeks ago and the dude said something about freezing fog and we both looked at each other with this "Huh?" look.

I'm 62 y.o. and I've never heard of such a thing.

But, then, we live where we don't have to worry too much about such stuff.

And, no, I'm NOT gonna suggest that you move down here.

We've got too many Yankees already....................

Stay there, enjoy your "freezing fog" or whatever.

Thems fight-n words, calling me a dam Yankee. I was born in the great republic of Texas. Call me a Yankee will ya. LoL Freezing Fog is basically when the theirs a difference in ground and air temperature that creats the fog, then the air temperature drops below freezing, causing the moisture in the fog to freeze. you either end up with tiny little clusters of snow like flakes, and mean real tiny, or you get hard as rocks little rain drop shaped hail. Just depends on how much moisture. the more moisture the bigger and harder the snow like clusters.

If the housing market hadn't of taken a dive, I would already have gone south, but I'm stuck hear for now, so I got to make the best of it.
