Books read, mid- and late July

( books, mostly rereads )

The new little retaining walls are built but not stained -- reckon we'll do that when we put sealant on the steps. So now we'll be ready to have the asphalt poured when they can do it. Yay, progress. Also the dog has had her hair cut and her shots given and so on; we walked to and from in the heat and humidity, which was not the worst ever in the history of mankind but was not much fun, either. So now we are both drinking water and recovering and attempting to make ourselves useful. Some of us have more successful attempts than others.

Bridge collapse

As timprov noted, we are okay here, and so are porphyrin's.

We drove across that bridge yesterday to go get Robin from daycare. We took him to see "Ratatouille." The bridge is not far from his daycare building. Not nearly far enough.

I am pretty shaken up here. But fundamentally okay.
