Today Tom wiped out my whole computer and reloaded all the programs I use. It’s supposed to be a good thing to do every year or two. I had to go in and reset my colors and stuff like that. I’m trying out a new wallpaper program too, cuz the old one caused problems.

APS was in back again. Today they put the pole up. That’s quite a little city we’ve got growing back there. I expect the freeloading Mexicans will move in around the 1st. At least by next summer, we won’t be able to see them. Just hear their shit.

The trap was triggered but there was no mouse in it, so we reset it. Sometimes they manage to escape before the door can close.

I’ll be leaving in a couple of hours for my last visit with Helen.
