Yesterday I failed at getting up in a timely manner, so did not go to the dojo. After reading for a while, I swung by the stable to drop off my monthly payment. It was a zoo (a cold, muddy one) with lots of people I didn't recognize running around. So I decided to schedule my lessons later and left.

They did ( Read more... )

Today:Well, it was still really really warm and humid with less of a breeze than Friday but also more cloud cover, which helped. Fortunately, I had very little mail and could actually deliver an hour of C13 (Hi Curlyjo! That roaring/squealing sound you heard was my truck throwing a rooster tail as I sped by). Several of my residents gave me water ( Read more... )
