Good evening, eye...((HUGS))...things are going pretty well. Aging continues and observation is mandatory.

My Dad is working on “cleaning” and taking inventory of the garage. He’s doing pretty well. My folks used to be into rock hounding and cutting, polishing, tumbling, and making jewelry from their finds. This past 2 weeks they have been boxing up all their rocks and equipment left over from that time. They made contact with someone in Juneau who would like to have their stuff, so today we took a couple of xerox boxes of rocks to Alaska Air Cargo to ship them. It was funny when the shipping guy asked what was in the box and we said rocks.

When they finished their work, they sent us to the billing desk and she laughed when we answered her question re contents. Then she started talking to my Dad because she said she recognized his name. More than 20 years ago they both worked for ARCO: my Dad on the slope and she in town for purchasing. She said she saw my Dad’s signature all the time. His memory is in really good shape. I just have to repeat most everything people say to him til they get that he doesn’t hear well.

How is Tennessee doing?

That’s a heck of a reply. I wish I had kept all the wolfenite that I had gathered from a lead mine in Arizona. I gave it to my friends when I left.

Our path is clearer and China is out of the question. I just sent a major platform to a city in India, alot of stuff that spells my demise. They get time to learn.

Obama has to go.

My ITUNES is capturing the music. :^)

Tennessee is doing pretty good. The high temp here was 78 and the rain was royal. The folks working are OK as far as I can tell.
