The calm after the storm
With our faithful dog at home, taking care of business, there’s been a certain void in our lives. Happily, Bill the Spaniel has stepped in as a loaner pet, and the morning now comess with a wiggler that has personality to boot.Only a temporary measure, but even smaller canines have a right to scratching behind the ears and over the tailfin.
Although last evening started with damp bedding, by morning all was forgotten. Unlike the down bag I had some years ago, this newfangled filler seems to get rid of any excess moisture in short order. Not that I intend to bed down in a puddle. Been there, done that, moved on.
There are still more wireless points to be discovered; today we found that the local fire hall is a provider for the homeless and intinerant. As well, we found that certain parking spots in downtown Charlottetown are within range of free content. Throw in a good coffee and the afternoon just seems to take care of itself. Babysitting for bored campers. That’s the other thing; we’ve already completed two weeks on the ground and there’s still a will to continue.
I seem to attract misconfigured computers. Professional handicap. This evening, I’m trying to tame a DVD burner that is intermittently unvailable to the system. After various software updates and a switch from cable select to master, a disc is finally cooking. Still an hour or more until the acid test, but there’s been no blue screens or sudden restarts or anything else to cause tummy aches.
Son #3 received the good news that his summer studies were positive; poor timing for a family vacation has meant a new sense of personal maturity. Good trade.
