Multiply that by four, make them all fluffier, and you'll have most of my regular "guests." There's also a possum, not to mention TomTom, who I think lives next door and likes to play with my girls--as hunting partners.

Definitely an IUD, when the biggest news is that the WalMart has at least one new motorized cart. It moves around so nicely. The only drawback is that the seat covering is not a smooth fake leather, and one cannot just slide out of the seat.

Groceries and reading the paper took up most of morning. Aand then it started to rain, so I figured a nap was appropriate.

I finished A Murder in Macedon (A mystery of Alexander the Great) by Anna Apostolou. It was a good one, although the last chapter was mostly explaining how everything had happened. I shall probably check to see if this author has any more books.

Meanwhile, my next book will be Get Out or Die, by Jane Finnis. Her books are set in ancient Britain. This will be the first one I've read and I'm looking forward to it.

Shopping/reading/napping pretty much took up my day.

The good news is that I-10 reopened some time last night and the acid spill has been taken care of. I hate to think of the traffic mess if it had happened on a weekday.

It was pretty bad post-Katrina when the stretch across the lake was not usable, but there was a LOT less "local" traffic by then. The number of people commuting in to New Orleans to work had plummeted, to put it mildly.

And, at the moment, I plan to go in to work tomorrow, barring really nasty weather.

I've put out the dog biscuits for the raccoons. I'll snack on some strawberries and toss the stem ends out there for them also. The watermelon rinds are gone, and I'll bet the next time I put some out they will get eaten faster, now that they know that they are a treat.

And that's it for another essentially IUD.
