It's the first blue sky in days and dude, I am loving it. There's a light coating of snow still on the ground and it's way below freezing out there. A day for a warm jacket and sunglasses. Imagine the view. Yup, the camera cord is still missing.
I'm making the rounds in Boulder Town today to take vital signs on hopefully 10-20 people. I need the practice for EMT training. It's going to get more interesting when I have to ask people to lay down on the floor and pretend to be a 911 call and do full patient assessments. 100 of them. There are only 200 people in all of BTown.
I just finished re-reading The Japanese Corpse by Janwillem van de Wetering. It's a mystery series unlike any you've ever read featuring a pair of Dutch cops, Grijpstra & DeGier. van de Wetering died last year on July 4th and I'm selfishly sorry that I never got to meet the man nor hear him speak. In an odd twist, he spent the last part of his life in Maine. Go figure. How many Dutch cops take to a Japanese Zen buddhist monastery? van de Wetering spent several years in one and in this part of the series takes the elderly commisaris (chief) and de Gier (one of the cops) to Japan to go after the Yakusa (Japanese crime org). All of the series are in print though most were written in the late seventies/early-to-mid-eighties. They hold up very well. Go find them. You're welcome.
I'm always looking for a good mystery. I have read all the Ruth Rendell novels and that's a bunch!
