Yesterday Tom put another $825 in Jesse’s box so he can stay home and play with his motorcycle. Yeah, we heard some engine-gunning for a few minutes, then he took off on the motorcycle, presumably to cash the money orders. I said to Tom, “Don’t you wish you could stay home with us and play with the things you love?”

A couple of iguanas are chasing each other up and down the rocky hillside.

Now the dogs are barking.

These rats were fine at first, but now they seem skittish. What, is Tinkerbell jealous from above and determined to make any rats we get unfriendly?

Later…

Hasn’t been a sound since Jesse left and his dogs went off. I thought he’d be going to cash our money orders and then come roaring back, but if he’s been there, all’s been quiet as usual.

Blackie and Brownie aren’t very active right now since it’s daytime. They only get up for occasional snacks and drinks.

The weather’s been beautiful, in the 70s. Think I’ll take advantage of the tranquility around here and do some writing after I work out.
