I'm also looking at a 'troops to teachers' plan they have here.  You start
without the degree but have to get it in a set time frame.

Hehe prices on contractors here have gone up, not down.  They are getting so
few jobs, they have to milk them for all they are worth apparently.

We got hit also with 0F at night and such plus snow and all that. Snow stuck
