Around here "investors" buy up homes and rent them out, so it's difficult for everyone else to find good houses to buy. (Alongside that problem, the private equity market is something that should be disabled - that's another part of our financial issues here - they buy businesses, take them apart, then leave the wounded operation now having to pay rent for the property they once owned.)

The wheelbarrow has been emptied into the 45-gallon Smart Pot (I'll add compost to it also before I'm ready to plant sweet potatoes). I have a small raised bed kit given me last year that I can't figure out where I'd use it so am handing it over to my daughter at lunch (along with a burlap bag of wood chips).

Computer work will await till this afternoon. For now the nano plug is out and I'm using a regular wired mouse. Once I get started on a project like this I want to completely finish it, hence not starting this morning when I would have to stop for lunch. The work will be in removing then reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers. I'll only resort to the company's drivers if MS or Intel don't have something to do the job.

What I do have time for now is to wash the SUV, then climb into the shower for myself.
