Endless puzzle possibilities

posted in environment |

Some of us grew up, convinced that with the right group of people, anything was possible. Consider being shipwrecked; all you really needed was a little buddy and a professor in the crowd and life would go on. Sadly, this week, part of the story came unglued. Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) has passed, due to Covid-19. Even the isolation of a desert island isn’t always enough to keep one safe from harm.

We had a quick visit from our itinerant electrician, this morning. More lights have been added in the basement, and we can move onward with the renos. The total cost (in professional fees) came in at an astounding $75.

I manage to “while away” the hours with a small iPad app that creates digital jigsaw puzzles from photos. The web gives me an endless supply of new content, but I have to make better choices. That little collection of random fields with stone walls was tougher than forecast. Too much greenery, and a decided lack of straight lines.

I checked the vaccination projections. At the moment, I’m not in the important group, so I might have to depend on my mask and natural immunity until near the end of next the summer. Good thing that I like where I live (and the endless supply of puzzles to distract me. I feel pain for certain acquaintances. They won’t be coming this way until much later.

Already the days seem longer. Outside, we still have natural light. I’d check the schedule of civil twilight, but I’m too lazy. If it was important to my plans. It’s not.

As the year ends, the family tree database moves on past the 100K mark.
