The change wasn't in view, the ashtray was closed, but there were lots of tolls to deal with back in the late 70s. I lost a bag of maps also, within the last couple of years, so again that would be a disappointed thief, but I was also disappointed because I've had to find and replace those maps. I still like to have paper versions handy even with all of the advancements in the Google maps on my phone.

The microfiber dusters arrived today. If I do a room a day it'll be just under two weeks to clear out the house (counting small rooms like bathrooms and laundry). By then it'll probably be time to start again, but if I actually get the dust out of the house and not just rearrange it perhaps the problem won't be as bad. It's things like rock collections and the open shelves in the den that will provide the biggest challenge. I wonder if I'll have the discipline to put things away as I work? That would be smart, but it might also slow me down in my dusting and cleaning. Decisions, decisions.
