Ray's House of Love (Volume II)

In the many decades since I lived in Phoenix and our last visit, it's gotten terribly smoggy as well. Tucson was always an enclave for like-minded people, but in a state going the direction Arizona seems to be in recent years, I won't live there again until they secede. Baja!

There, there, Trevor. It's just that I'm not online as much because I'm away from home. Today our other kid will be joining us, so I'll be around even less. Do try to keep this thread alive, won't you?

I'm at Cape Cod, but I don't broadcast my location when we travel. What if--gasp!--someone at AW wants to meet me? Luckily, I have it on good authority nobody here is anywhere nearby.

Maryn, that shy

If it's any comfort, the vacation became less idyllic when we discovered this morning we have no hot water and the rental place can't/won't do anything until they reach the owner. We called him ourselves and got an answering machine. Our call has not been returned.

We hope he left the rental agency keys to everything which is locked away from prying tenants, such as the water heater, but it's been hours since we contacted them. The owner lives about three hours away, and if we have to wait for them to speak to him, and then for him to get here, it ain't good.

I'm starting to get the feeling I won't be showering today, much less doing dishes or washing any of the purposefully small wardrobe we brought because the place has a washer.

There, feel better?
