What Could Go Wrong?

A man with no allegiance to anyone gaining control of the federal government’s data bases. What could possibly go wrong.

And another takeover this morning

 

Back in the Boot

The operation went well. Should be a quick recovery. The doctor's scrawl still visible
 

The Year of the Snake

The year will be all about shedding bad energy. People born under this sign are considered mysterious, smart, caring and wise. That seems to cover a lot of bases.

Poppy's Car Wash

 

I borrowed Poppy the other day for a walk and a few errands.  It included her first time through a carwash.  She did great.

Gravel

After the guys finished the french drain, they came back and spread some gravel around underneath the deck and north side house. It cleans up the appearance.
 

French Drain Install

After the torrential downpour few weeks ago, we got a little water coming into the basement bedroom. W was in the midst of redecorating and the room was largely empty.  We had to take up his new flooring and dry it out upstairs. 

The landscaping came yesterday to put in a french drain. Covered in gravel and finished with river rock, it'll hopefully help in the future if we ever get 2.5" of rain in one day again.

Library Protest

Karen and I went and leant our voices to the library protest held at the courthouse yesterday.  The new commissioners have seen fit to rescind the library's lease.  People are mad about. The 30 day notice was the final act of a vindictive and recalled commissioner on his last day in office.  He had lost a court case with library on a separate issue last year and a library board member sat on his recall committee.

A new library is on the way but won't be operational for 3-4 years.  The property was recently bought and the design has only just been approved.

News stations says about 100 people showed up. A good turn out on less than 24 hour notice.

Yes, Please
