Aquarius

Today is a non-federal governmental recognized holiday in the US. It has more attention now than it ever has. This month some businesses have given it as a day off. News outlets all over are explaining the holiday. This is a surprising time in the US.

I finished the conference in Manila and put together a presentation about it. No more trying to pay attention in the middle of the night. 

Samuel was exposed to too many beeps this morning and by the last one he was shaking. Either it really scared him or it hurt his ears. He decided it was Karen's fault because she was testing devices the other night and then this morning tested one. By tonight he has recovered. I'm glad he didn't decide it was my fault, I like being his favorite.

The blue thing is a toad house. The idea is that a toad is supposed to hop along and see it and think it is lovely, check it out, and conclude that with those nice walls and vaulted ceiling that it would make the perfect home and move in. It hasn't worked yet but at least it is a nice color.
