Look at you, Publius! Posting from your empty apartment.

Hope you have a few creature comforts until you stuff arrives.

Thank you for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.

[Publius]

Sitting on the floor of my empty apartment, yes. Creature comforts, no. But I’m used to this. When my stuff arrives in a few weeks, I’ll be back to normal.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Hope traffic was better than yesterday.

It is misting here....pretty poor representation of rain. Skies are covered with smoke from the fires to the south. They need RAIN!!!
