Drying out

altivoI think the rains have finally stopped. Figures, since today was my last vacation day. Back to work on Monday. Unless I've counted wrong, we've had 3.75 inches of rain this week. It rained every day and every night, though the sun peeked through for brief flashes now and then.
For various reasons, like sitting around waiting for a phone call that was scheduled and didn't happen, today wasn't real productive. I did go get some groceries, and filled my gas tank since the price is back down to $2.57 in Marengo. Less than it was a year ago, but more than a dollar higher than the low it hit at the beginning of this year. We were as low as $1.44 or less at that time.
I was up at 3:30 this morning and never got back to sleep, so I'm going to try to go to bed shortly. Gary will get back from Indiana in the morning, but then Sunday has to go to a wedding in Downer's Grove. We'll probably skip the Horsefest, as it keeps getting smaller and more disappointing every year anyway.
Finished up The First Book of Lapism this afternoon. I'll be writing a longer review of it yet this weekend, but I give it at least 4 stars, maybe even 5. Definitely worth reading. Author Phil Geusz definitely has deep insights into human nature and behavior as well as furry fans and their culture. His peripheral glimpses of the Christian churches in America are also spot on, in my opinion.
