While I was at Walmart I met a couple who had relocated here from 
Minnesota.  They had been told that Logan was a good place to come to so
 they came.  It put her a little closer to her family in Oregon and 
Washington.  He is working at West Liberty Food through Intermountain 
Staffing.  He is also a welder; however, he is not "certified."  His 
wife made an interesting observation about Utah.  She said the state is 
very "professional/college" oriented which means a person needs to be 
certified to do a job.  She has 15 years experience doing home health 
care in Minnesota but no certification; he doesn't have any 
certification as a welder.  As I think about it, she is pretty much on 
the mark.  One of our candidates was working on getting forklift 
certification.  For home health care, a person needs to be a Certified 
Nurse Assistant (CNA).  People even get certified for cashiering, but it
 isn't required, at least not yet. 
This morning I took a picture of the window sill in my bedroom.  It had 
ice on the inside from condensation because it was so cold outside.  The
 weather keeps saying it is going to get into the 20s or maybe even the 
30s.  I have yet to see it happen.  I’m starting to get use to seeing my
 breath in the car as I drive down the road to the Center.  Pretty sad, 
huh?
