Visitors...

Rodent tally for the past week:

Thursday - one adult mouse...so that's why Millie was obsessed with trying to get in the basement...
Friday - one adolescent mouse...uh, you know what this means; there is a family...
Saturday, early Sunday - bat in the bedroom; he goes into my workroom, doesn't leave, but we can't find him; he camps out all day...
Sunday night - bat comes downstairs; doubt he wanted to watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" with us; we lure him into the bedroom and open all windows with door closed; exit bat...
Monday - one adult mouse; when dropping him off at the river, I think he said "see you next week" as he hopped away...

Why our house? We keep it clean, we have Killer Millie, and the house across the street is dirty and the slovenly drunk next door can't possibly keep his house nicer than ours... I guess I just have to plant more mint. At least the mosquitoes are leaving me alone.

The veggie garden is finally moving consistently. I hope to have tomatoes, okra and cucumbers before the first frost.

Had a dream about exchanging our currency for London...I think it's a sign that I need to get on that...kind of like I have to get on submitting my work...Hey, at least I am making art, not just sitting watching TV, drinking brewskies and getting large like my wife-beater neighbour...How come nice people are losing their houses and this guy isn't? Where is the money coming from?

Going to Trenton tomorrow for a NJ Main Street workshop. Riding in the van with an alderman. Have to get up the nerve to talk to him about pertinent issues if the opportunity arises...will report on it later in the week...
