It was very hot today. I recorded 104 at about two o'clock. I was supposed to get the lawn trimmed but no one showed up. I did not blame them. I was able to gas up the paper car and I ate some salmon at Shari's. The service was as poor as ever. The waitress gave me two ice teas and forgot the baked potato. No tip.

I wrote a letter to Bobby and sent off a copy of the blog. I also got in a letter to Joel after I had added some comments to the people who had commented to him. I ran some stuff for Michael and sent him off a letter. I was at the computer most of the day.

MaryEllen called and thanked me for the money. I guess she had a good birthday she seemed happy with the money. She said that she had heard from Uncle David and he was baby-sitting some grand kids. She said she planned to go to California in August and go to Disneyland. I am glad that she is able to get out and about.

Nolan called and said that he was looking for some material on tattoos. I looked it up on the Internet and ordered the catalog for him. I am not sure what he is up to. It does seem to get complicated from time to time with him. Now he wants me to cancel the paper at the end of June. I doubt if he reads it that much. He claims that he does not know any of the people who are being arrested so he has lost interest.

Ellen called and said they would be coming over Saturday afternoon and staying all night. They wanted to park a trailer in my yard. She said that Art was coming for the night as well but when I checked with Art and he had to be home around six o'clock.  I am not sure what would happen to his animals if they missed a feed by a couple of hours.

I watched Sunday Morning on the VCR and it was a nice break from the videos. I think I have figured out the discrepancy with the blog sites - one is weighhman and the other weighman. what a fuck up. I guess I'll keep both now.

The Most Memorable Positive Moment today was hearing from MaryEllen. We are able to have a pretty good conversation any more without being so strained.
