Lonely Thursday...

Originally, Galina had intended to drive up to Colorado to inspect the work that has been done on the house and to oversee the installation of the carpet, but a couple of things got in the way.

First, someone Galina wanted (and was supposed) to meeting on Tuesday showed up yesterday instead, and then only for a few minutes. Second—and perhaps the main reason—was that the carpet people, who had promised an August 1 start to the job called on July 31 to say they could only deliver the carpet on the 5th.

So from my end, once Galina and Alla took off, I was left with the dogs and cats. I ate entirely too much food today, which makes a good case for fasting tomorrow.

I did get a bunch of stuff done, but driving home afterward felt weird—like it didn't quite make sense.

I then spent entirely too much time trying to get an old IP camera up and running with my current router setup. No joy, but it killed time.

Natalie texted me today to ask if I've done any research on the weather along the path of totality during the upcoming August 21st eclipse. My response suggested that trying to determine, with any atom of certainty, the probability of the sky being overcast any any given place along that path for a period of time of less than two minutes and thirty seconds was a little, um, premature with 18 days yet to go.

Time to hit the rack. I'm tired.

Cheers...
