My building got washed yesterday, and my patio got put back together this morning.  They didn't come until mid-afternoon, and it took them THREE hours to do the job!  I think an hour was just in setting up, but why that should take more than 15 minutes, I can't figure.

Building #4 is being washed now, and surprise! they're here before 9am.  The power thingy is right outside my kitchen window, so I had to shut the window while the air is still coolish.  But maybe they'll get two buildings done today.

I think my winter cacti can be mostly saved.  One pot looks pretty bad, but there are some stems that are still green.  The other pot I think is mostly salvageable.  Five years I put into those plants, and it took one day to mostly destroy them.  *sigh*

When I get done here, I'm going to call Greyhound and find out schedules and fares from here to Vancouver.  I'll go next week after a medical test has been done.  If there's a night schedule, I think I'll do that because I can sleep on the trip.  But if I do that, I can't see the scenery on the way.  Well, first I have to make the call.

I told Megan I was coming, and her first thought was to go grocery shopping and stock up on veggies.  I reminded her it's still a week away, and maybe we could shop together when I get there.  I may not see the sun for a week, but at this point, all I can say is HOORAY!  Still triples here, and I'm thinking that a little fog would be most welcome!  Maybe even a bit of rain.

I was informed that KK caught his first bird.  I know that cats are hunters, and birds are their prey, but I still don't like the idea.  I give Banshee feathers to play with, and he probably would go hunting if I let him out.  But a feather isn't a bird.  If KK had brought down something as obnoxious as a scrub jay, I'd probably congratulate him, but Megan said it was a little songbird.    Psycho can't be bothered with birds.  He has Moe to aggravate, and she can hold her own with him.  Megan said there are a few mounds of dirt that might indicate moles or gophers.  Maybe KK will take them on.  I'd approve of that.  Just leave the songbirds alone!

I think I'll stop babbling now.
