Things continue to get better

The phone company was working in our area full
steam ahead today. I think everyone in this
part of Salina should have phone service by
this evening. I think everyone now has power, too.




The Haz Mat Team showed up today to clean up the
site of our former Solar Hut. When they got a
good look at it they decided the one drum they
had brought would not be sufficient to carry
away all the batteries and other debris. They
are coming back Monday with three drums.

In the meantime the State Health Dept has
declared all the sites to be hazardous waste
sites so the dumpsters that have been filled
and not yet emptied must be emptied into
plastic lined dumpsters and hence forth we
are to put any debris into the plastic-
lined dumpsters.

The State has also decreed that we should
wet down the sites. Where we are to get
water for such an effort hasn't been
mentioned.

Robert had a tooth pulled today so when I
went to town I dropped off a prescription
for pain meds for him. I guess my brain
is still on vacation. I did my shopping
and came home, remembering the prescription
as I pulled into the barn. Fortunately,
I had given him some meds (left from
an earlier occasion) to hold him over
until I got back. I don't think he has
taken anything and is planning to go to
Cosmology Book Club tonight.
