Et cetera!!!
I too got lost finding the place in the first place; it’s at the intersection of one-way streets and if you don’t plan right – - – - -!!! At last however. Of all the states I’ve been in to get a driver’s license number, it’s the first time I ever had to go somewhere to get the vehicle ID verified. IF that was required, someone there did it. Oh well – it is what it is. 
Isn’t it nice to know that a mostly wild animal trusts you with her babies? I guess you still haven’t caught her, eh?
What a wonderful weekend, Judith – it often takes a generation or two for prejudices etc to be forgotten. It was the same with my family. Back in my grandmother’s day, I suppose someone insulted someone else and grudges were held. Two generations later, cousins etc are meeting for the first time and finding out none of us are too bad after all!
We all complain about the cold, ice, snow, fog etc., then when summer comes we complain about the heat and humidity/dryness — we can’t win so we might just as well accept. No change will ever me made unless global warming does a number on us!
Temps here have been in the low to mid 70s so far and it has been quite nice actually. I was talking with Cindy the other day (she’s the leasing agent and the one to contact when you have a problem), and she said one woman insisted on a second floor west side apartment facing the mountains. So that’s what she got and no more than two weeks later, she was complaining about how hot it was, her apartment was an oven, etc etc. I’m glad I’m on the ENE side. I can see a bit of the beginning of the mtn range, but at the same time, I’m not roasting in my own oven! LOL
I went to Cindy with a complaint about the force of the wind (no kidding) created by the AC fan. Temp at 75, AC comes on, I’m sitting on my sofa (futon) with a blanket around me cuz it’s so bloody cold with the wind. She told me they could come and do something to it but it would cost me $72 to do so. My eyebrows went to my hairline and I emailed her that I had never in my life heard of a facility-provided convenience like AC/heat having a fee charged when something goes haywire; it wasn’t something that I had caused or done and I thought a fee of that magnitude was waaaaaaaay out of line, etc etc. Twice I made that complaint. Well, apparently someone else agreed and the force of air was cut in half. Personally I think the equipment is too powerful for this small apartment BUT at least I’m neither smothering or freezing.
I also think that $10/month for a large dog cage for storage is a bit ridiculous – but that’s me. And y’know what – there are no empty ‘cages’ for storing stuff. And what’s more, my daughter’s garage is getting full. ;-0
ah well – this too shall pass! LOL
Take care all,
Jo
