Local Whitewater organic garden farmer, showing off. Puts me to shame.

Stowing paint, imported from Canada so it won't freeze. Stowing leftover groceries, still very palatable. Stowing tools. Straightening the garage. Getting everything back in proper, and comfortable, order. Sue off to Aurora to help Jayne.

There are drawback to being back in Whitewater—drawbacks such as lack of shoreline, and lack of boats, along with much higher levels of noise and traffic. But there are benefits: electricity that seldom goes out, city water, central heat, a variety of restaurants, convenient shopping, fast internet, live TV (although this probably should go in the "drawback" column), nice walking and biking loops, and, of course, proximity to the "important" people.

So, I can live with it.
