Rattlesnake!!!!
Djinn and I saw our first live rattlesnake (a Western Diamondback - Crotalus atrox) today. Of course, we saw it on the "Plants of the Gateway" hike this morning. The experience was amazing!! Not only was the experience amazing, the snake was too. It is unusual to see a snake of this size that still has an intact rattle. It kept coming back to the trail we were on (crossing the trail twice). Djinn got some photos of the 4-4.5 foot snake, but we haven't pulled them off the camera yet. If you ask nicely (and one or two of the shots came out) she may post one. |

I understand.
If I make you uncomfortable I certainly understand and have followed through on your request. |

To Lintra...
Thank you, thank you, thank you. ...and you're crazy. The photo album of the wedding arrived today. You obviously put a lot of thought into photo choices and ordering. It shows and is wonderful! |

Uncle John
Today we lost a good man. Uncle John died this morning while having surgery to install a new heart valve. He was a kind person, who gave my aunt a second life. He will be missed by the entire family. Good-bye, John. Be at peace. |

It's just not right...
Having the turkey going with the front and back doors open. The temperature inside is 80 degrees F and outside is 74 degrees F. Happy Thanksgiving to all. |

Travel Update
We're coming back to Michigan to get the rest of our stuff out of and off the property. The travel arrangements are made. We will be flying in to Metro on October 18 (scheduled landing at 4:08pm) and flying out on October 22 (take-off at 5:17pm). First, is anyone interested in dinner on Thursday? Friday? Is anyone interested in helping to load/move stuff on Saturday? Sunday? (I know it's not likely, but Monday?) My thoughts are that Friday will begin with picking up a rental truck and dealing with banks/credit unions. The rest of Friday (and possibly early Saturday) will be sorting through stuff and making decisions. The rest of the time will be moving stuff either out to the curb or off to a storage unit. I know that several friends have offered to put stuff up for us, but I honestly don't know how long the stuff would need to be in your possession and I don't know how many of you would be available to bring stuff to over this particular weekend. With that in mind and knowing that Djinn will need to endorse this one, I would like to offer some items to friends if they are interested rather than storing them. For instance, would anyone be interested in one or two five drawer legal-size vertical file cabinets? I'm honestly not sure of everything that remains in the house/garage at this point. Any other thoughts out there? I hope to visit with friends and family a bit, but because of the amount of stuff that has to happen at the house I don't know how much time will be available. |

We're being invaded again...
...by ants. Last time they were coming up in the master bathroom. This time its a toss up as to whether they are coming from the exterior wall in the dining room or up under the toilet in the full bathroom. Djinn told me to go get ant traps this time since they seem to be so insistent about this. Traps are bought and in place. We'll see how long before they die off. In the mean time I will continue to kill off those between the two likely entry points with vinegar. Sigh. |

Thank you all.
I am happy for all of the advice regarding the milk. I've been planning to dispose of it, but thought I'd see if anyone had any interesting ideas. |

Laundry continued
And for the record I do not put polo shirts nor a button-down shirts in the clothes dryer since I started doing our laundry. Djinn was very specific about that. I used it only for t-shirts, socks, underwear and towels. |

For those of you keeping track...
The house is finally packed. Djinn and her mother are having dinner in Howell right now and have approximately 1.5 hours of driving to their first stopover in Battle Creek, MI. |

It's all in the timing
Just after I said good-bye to Djinn on the cell phone and hung up my phone made its I'm completely out of charge 'beep.' |
