Steve went to get his hair cut.

Yeah, this is pretty unusual...giving us a brand new dryer (and it's just a dryer, btw...I thought it was both but it's not.) They said they were going to give me their old one when they gave me the deep freeze, remember? But then they backed out of that.

So I still am not sure it's from them...it's real unusual.

Whoever it was paid for the gas hookup type and the delivery, Steve's going to pick it up and we have electric...so we'll have about $150 left over...

*Sigh*

I'm watching streaming video from New Orleans...news people trying to identify submerged neighborhoods. Wonder if any of those people thought to bottle up some water and if they were able to keep it out of the flood.

The hurricane thread is into Red Cross bashing now.

That makes it sound even more like it might be them.

FWIW, as I thought about this after my last post about it today, is that maybe gifts like the pool and the dryer might be only way they feel they have to send you good will, since other contact has gotten so strained. When you can't speak and can't reconcile, at least send a dryer.

That's my take.
