Dorothy, I am always impressed and entertained by the places you've been and the people you've met.

More attic work this afternoon/evening. I'm not able to get the cable to pull through on the side of the bedroom that I thought would work (the drilled hole is too small and the wall header is too deep for any of my drills to expand the opening), but after removing extraneous old phone lines and leaving the one from the far side of the master bedroom, that may be the one I can to use to pull through new lines for data and antenna. I will have to rearrange some furniture. Decluttering: this afternoon in the attic I pulled out two old phone lines, a long double line of coaxial cable (I originally used it to haul my newer antenna lines through the attic - I see my signature wraps of blue painter tape on the end) and two strands of 300 ohm twin lead antenna wire. The attic is its own little archaeological "dig" - I find signs of people who came before (the antenna leads from the previous tenants) and my earliest days in this house (in 2003). I've also pulled out more old cedar shingles to add to my kindling bin (it's hard to believe that they put cedar shingles on all of these houses in ~1976). The previous owners who bought the house new with a cedar shake roof put on standard asphalt shingles in the late 1990s.

My front yard got mowed this evening as a gazillion flying insects rose from the turf. Not mosquitoes, yet, but very soon.

I hate Daylight Savings Time. It starts tomorrow, which isn't such a big deal, but I have places to be on Monday and that's when the time shift will kick in for me.
