"Creative:" I Like That

This is one of the nicest things I've been told:

"[I'm a] Catholic convert too, [a] retired teacher following you on Twitter. You have [an] interesting, positive, creative lifestyle. God bless you."

The original was in 'Tweeteese' - or 'Textlish?' I omitted out the person's name, out of privacy concerns. But - thanks!

Summer: And Strong Thunderstorms

Just a quick note: this morning, about 1:50 a.m. and 2:15 a.m., thunderstorms went through town. I haven't noticed any damage here, aside from a scattering of twigs and leaves on the ground. I stayed up for the event, since the warning mentioned half-dollar-size hail. Hail we got: half-dollar-size, not so much. Can't say I'm disappointed.

Central Air: After Only Three Decades!

When I got back from seeing a demonstration of Universal Robots's UR-5 in Fargo yesterday, the house was cooler than I expected. As of Thursday afternoon, we have central air: something my wife has been waiting for since we moved in, about three decades back. Me, too.

Roof repairs are done, and we're still looking forward to wrapping up some long-awaited maintenance and replacement. It's nice to be able to get this done.
