And one from our house


So the sprinkler with the infra red sensor is working wonders. I've seen a few of the little critters sulk and turn away as they realize that our garden no longer is their giant litter box. The kitchen garden is growing really well.

This Monday is Memorial Day which means that we have a three day weekend. One of the great things with a three day weekend that stretches from Saturday to Monday is that it is followed by a four day work week. Work is going well, although it's been very busy.

I am reading Surprised by Joy at the moment which I am enjoying a great deal. I made some kind of attempt at reading this book when I was probably a bit too young so I am glad to have given it another try.

Well, the Primary election is continuing here and as far as I am concerned they should get it over with so we can move on to the actual election. The more it drags on the more a certain individual seems to loose her dignity. You almost get a feeling that there is a sense of entitlement from the Clinton campaign. An entitlement that says that Hillary should win the nomination just because, and it's inconceivable that she won't, even though most indications seem to point towards her not winning it.

I am adding another picture from our house, this time of the living room.

The magic bullet?

Today I bought one of these. The neighbours' cats are using our garden as a litter box, and frankly I am getting quite fed up with it. Any one who has seen Aliens the director's cut will know what I am expecting out of this motion censored sentry gun. Not that cats are aliens but the line must be drawn.

More updates on the Cat Problem coming up.

Back in Santa Maria

We returned from Cozumel late on Saturday. The snorkeling was incredible. I will post photos of our trip as soon as I get around to it.

Anniversary

Tomorrow we will be leaving for Cozumel, where we are going to celebrate our one year anniversary. We are staying there until next Saturday. If you need to contact us it will probably be easiest to reach us through email. We will be flying out from Santa Barbara, to Phoenix and then to Cancun. From Cancun we'll take a bus or taxi to Playa del Carmen and from there a ferry to San Miguel on Cozumel. I can't believe it's been one year since that sunny day in May. It's gone past so fast.
