    About 11 years ago, on a really hot & sticky summer day (>100F), a coyote trotted through the open front door of Quizno's down in the Loop and serenely sat down, cooling himself off in the reach-in bottled-drink bin. (For those of you unfamiliar with Chicago, that is about as "downtown" as a city gets)! It just sat there placidly till Animal Control came and took it to their van--where it was examined and then turned loose in a county Forest Preserve.

    Happy Birthday Molly and to your husband, Lucy! Remember we are not old, we are vintage! Smile

    Saw my MO yesterday, she says the spider veins are from the radiation, and it's normal to get new ones even years later.

    I've got a four day weekend due schools being closed for the Easter holiday. Even us non-teachers don't have to work this break. I'm using it as a personal retreat to do some thinking and planning for this year. Sort of excited about it, actually.

    Proud: I'm sure there's somebody on the boards here who'd appreciate and use those scarves and hats. Keep asking.

    Iris - there is also a "freecycle" thread somewhere - I've given away compression camis that didn't work for me that way.

    Thanks Sandy.......Philly, and Philly suburbs are very happy today.........actually my grandaughter is looking to go there for Nursing....she was invited to attend an all day there ...out of the suburban area...only 2 are chosen and she was one.....my daughter is going to the “Poor House".....LOL.....but anything for her kids.....her son is in University of the Sciences for Pharm D......and doing very well.....can't believe he is going into his Jr year next semester.....he lived on Campus for the 1st 2 years and has decided to commute the last 4....thank God....it is a bad area....but most of the Philly great schools are in not great area's......My daughter is giving him her 2 year old car, and she bought a new one..he can park right on campus....much safter, except for driving....UGH

    Now Villanova no, they are on the Main Line....Temple University is a great school...lucky yu can walk the streets in the daytime let alone night......same with University of Pa....and that is a $63,000 school.......such a shame......last year one of the students was attacked with a rock and got a fractured skull....my grandson is only 3/4 blocks from Penn

    ducky, gee i sort of think it common that areas where colleges are often not great. I remember when my neice was college shopping, she asked me about columbia university, did not know how to tell her that they border harlem. She was coming from lancaster, pa .......she ended up at uva which i think was more of a suburban feel.

    Iris we have some around here more in the suburban areas....but your colleges like Drexel, U of P, U of S, LaSalle, Temple, are all in crappy areas....Temple being the worst......

    Now the suburbs have quite a few good ones, but the more desired are in shabby neighborhoods...even getting to them is bad..you could get caughtt in a cross fire......car jacked...etc.....and its a shame......

    One ofmy grandsons went to Carnagie Mellon in Pittsburgh...walk a few block and your in trobule......but I have to say probably right up there with Temple was.....Catholic University of America...mygrandaughter went there for nursing....another horrible place to walk just a couple of blocks from.......The Bascillica of the Immaculate Conception is their church.....magnificient......breathtaking.....its where all the dignataries from D.C. go for their Mass of the Dead.......couple blocks away bedlam......

    It is sad cause most that I mentoned are all private, and big bucks......another one is Widener University....Chester, Pa....Worst city according to U.S News and World rep;ort.......$50.000 school...another grandaughter graduated from there.......its jus damn sad......

    Oh and not let me fail tomention PSU......safe school in the area......but you might lose your kid to hazing in that place.......we lost the Piazza boy...and 2 weeks ago another boy who was in Bermuda/Bahams?.....and was drinking and fell off a cliff and died.....he is from the town over from me.....my grandkids knew him......he was there for a Rugby Tournament......horrible

    My grandson graduated from PSU...thank God got out safe.....now that is the Main Camp;us.....the satellite schools are pretty safe.....
