Update

School is underway now and my afternoon route is bigger than last year. My boss is trying to hire a third driver to pickup the overflow from my area and kids west of the interstate. We got an applicant a month ago but he turned the job down after his interview. Last Thursday I heard there was a new applicant. Maybe we'll have better luck with this one.

Sept first I moved to a different apartment complex. Two or three weeks ago the building my apartment is in caught fire. There was no damaged to my apartment but the experience sold me on the importance of renters insurance. In the last month Fargo's had two apartment building fires. My building was the first. A couple weeks later a building across town caught fire. The second fire was much worse. No one was injured. Fire got under the roof and shot across so all three floors were lost to Water damage. It was a big building, like mine.

I've dropped network TV and gone with Netflix at home. Cable TV is so expensive and most of what there is to watch is junk. I hate network news and local news isn't much better. Everyone runs around ripping copy and regurgitating what others say. No thanks. I'd rather stick my head in the sand and pretend everything is hunky dory even if it's not. I can't live with the stress of what I've been paying to watch.

That's all for now. Take care, see ya later.

grandchildren

Just got word this week that Aaron and Amanda are expecting. This year is going fast. Our garden has been very productive and I'm been eating, giving away, canning, freezing a fair amount of produce. We still have apples to work on, and beets, and tomatoes. Feeling good. Darl is semi-busy. Work comes in variable amounts. Good to hear from all at different times. Lots to be thankful for.
