Coffee with Marlin was great. He shared a story about his recent motorcycle trip and a friend hitting a deer and being significantly injured. He survived but it's a powerful reminder that we can't always assume we'll make it home. Shit happens all the time. It's simply the chaos that is nature, and we are as subject to it as any and everything else is. I got lots of great input from the county "vector" control guy at Pano about mitigation of both rodents and mosquitos. I have some refinements to make. I hate to imagine anything has 'gotten into' the attic or crawlspace but it's always a possibility so I have to be proactive. I made a last min decision to walk to GNO dinner. 4.11 miles. It took me 1hr, 17min. I was able to listen to a great podcast and it was a rewarding move. I hope to start taking more long walks for all the various benefits (sun, space, exercise, endorphins, etc.). GNO was great - all four of us enjoyed the usual banter and exchanges. I'm always grateful to have the time to stay connected.
