1 - The lovely Mrs_Bob and her sister are
to Albuquerque, NM. They left today at 6am and are planning to stop in Elk City, Oklahoma. Hopefully before dark. Their brother has all of the family belongings in storage and by all, I mean ALL the stuff from their late parent's home. Clothes, dishes, furniture, scraps of paper, broken pencils, etc. They are planning to sort through everything, donate a bunch of it to charity shops, save the stuff that has real value or has some sentimental value. The stuff they are saving will go into a smaller storage locker, a few things will come home in the back of the truck.

2 - Dasha's plane landed in Boston about 90 minuets ago. She is now checked into a hotel room. She was worried they would not let her check into the hotel without an adult (

She will be visiting M.I.T. and Harvard. Then taking a train to visit YALE. Then taking a train to visit Columbia and New York University.

Did a nice job of area lighting but not much more than that. The cost to replace the 3 bulbs was almost as expensive as the cost of a 'discontinued' model LED flood lamp so I just replaced the whole fixture.
4 - Waiting to hear from Melen about a job with Cummins Diesel. Probably waiting until mid-next week. She had second interview with them on Thursday. The job is down to her and 1 other candidate. We all are hoping she gets it. If not she will accept the job from CISCO Systems in California. Really hoping she doesn't have to move to California. Really really hoping that doesn't happen. I know it would be a great opportunity and a nice entry into the legal departments of any company in the tech industry, but California is such a
