Today is my birthday. No big deal, really, but after the events of the past three years, I'm greatful for every extra year I can add to the list.

Special treat this year; I get to see an Aunt I haven't seen since I was around eight years old.

The whole family is getting together at Stoney Creek restaurant and having a good dinner, after which, hopefully, my parents and my aunt will come here to Casa Meyer and let me show off the joint. Beth and I (ya riiight, MOSTLY Beth! surprise surprise!!) have worked our tails off to get the place presentable, and I think the results are worth being proud of.

I still need to cut the grass, but I had to wait until yesterday to get a new lawnmower I could use, and it needs to be charged for at least 24 hours before it's first use, so it will have to wait until tomorrow...least I got a nice birthday present that will "keep on giving" for a hopefully long time!

I heard an idea, in the spirit of true inter-state cooperation:

Trench the Rio Grande to 9' depth
Use the resulting dirt as fill for New Orleans to solve their levee problem
Take the over-population of Everglades Gators from Fla and deposit them in the new Rio Grande Trench/Moat

3 problems solved.

Works for me !
