I took my Highlander through a car wash this morning and it looks nice and shiny. It's now parked in the driveway where the trees can spread pollen all over it again. At least I got rid of the dirt from the trip, and will try to wash it again before I leave in June.
Since Walmart was nearby and I wanted a pair of knee high stockings to wear with my sandals and long dresses, I thought I'd dash in, find them, and dash back out. You don't dash anywhere once you get into the clutches of Walmart! I have never seen so many long lines move so slowly. On the way into the store I passed some cheap folding outdoor chairs, and bought one since I forgot to include a chair when I left Sacramento. I haven't missed it yet, but if I stop at any campsites on the way back I will appreciate having a chair that's softer than a picnic table bench!
No pictures of the foxes today - my camera hasn't been working properly so I didn't take any photos this morning. I have another camera that I use alternately, but both of them aren't really satisfactory.
One thing I was wrong about though, is that the shed isn't set on a concrete foundation. It looks that way from the kitchen window, but it is actually on a bed of hard packed gravel, with a plywood floor. It looks to me like the foxes are actually living in the shed, and they will be surprised this weekend when Sandy switches the hard top for the Jeep for the soft top, and stores the hard top in the shed! I think they should yell "Company coming!" before entering. Mama Fox could get quite vicious if she feels cornered.

Is anyone else having problems with sitemeter? Mine was working just fine one day and then turned into a "black box" the next. I can click on the box and see the statistics page, but now it just gives totals and doesn't break down...

Mike, Joshua and I went to West Point again today to the PX and Commissary. It is graduation weekend - with the ceremonies being next Tuesday, but it was crowded with proud families. Before that I looked out the window and saw one of the little...
- A Case Of The Jitters!
I'm not concentrating very well this morning. I went into the bedroom and dropped something on the floor - when I picked it up I noticed quite a bit of dust, so into the kitchen I went to get my dust mop. While I was there I decided to...

My frustrations started first thing when I went to a local credit union to withdraw cash from their ATM. My credit union is not affiliated with this one, and they charged me $2.50. It would have been a 16 mile roundtrip to drive to the one...
