COQUILLE DIARY MAY 2000

COQUILLE DIARY MAY 2000:

5-1:  Went to Myrtle Point to take a look at a 1981 Mazda RX7, 8 miles on a new engine.  1600 bucks.  Tim decided to purchase.

5-2:  Took the Mazda to Coos Bay and found out the hard way NOT to turn on the AC which DOES NOT WORK.  Had to have the Nice Napa man put on a new belt that got burned up.  We then went to eat at Bennetti's a very nice Italian place right downtown.

Last week we drove the Mazda to Shore Acres to tour the gardens. Lovely.

5-10: Ooh maybe I got out just in time.  Heard from a buddy by email in Barrow that ASNA went on a firing spree.  They laid off 34 employees.  8 nurses were canned along with the head nurses secretary.  Art Evangelista was laid off he has been central supply and sterile instruments guy.  He also managed the front desk at night.  Asna fired their own head of personnel.  Helen Simmonds was fired from eye clinic.  She has worked there forEVER. Village services were cut drastically.  There was an article in the Alaska Daily News where in Eben Hopson was explaining that there had been a technical error in the budget.  Uh, decimal space off a couple of digits?  Eesh.

5-15: Finally got the backlog of filing taken care up with the help of the volunteer ladies.  Some of it went back to 1996!!!

Took a quickie three day vacation to Idaho for a quick visit.  Carla met me there and we all had as much fun as possible.

I documented some lyrics all about making chili from a one hundred pound bag of pinto beans.  I re-read the thing and I don't think I will put it here, it is all about food and not even good enough to qualify for Oliver.  More, please.

Good news:  Budget will allow me to purchase two new computers.  Well hooray, we may get nosebleed from the increased speed.

This past week was Gay 90's Celebration.  1890's not the Gay Pride thing.  The usual small town stuff, small parade, high school band tootling away etc.

The weather has been quite warmish, went to Fred Meyer to purchase a couple of box fans.  We usually get a nice evening breeze so it's all good.

Enough for the darling buds of May.
G'night folks.
