eve_primeIt was very warm again today, record-breaking for March 19 here. I think my car said 83˚ at one point? I drove to the bookstore that’s closing, bought three books, and wished the owner fun times in his retirement. I then drove to the library, but it was closed for staff training. Walking downtown in this heat was odd – lots of cannabis in the air, and the usual scruffy homeless folks were still in their winter clothes.
Then I drove home and saw that Hiram’s house, the one that had all those troubles and where most of my cats were born, has been marked as a construction site. The next-door neighbor told me a contractor has bought it and plans to tear down the existing house next month, then build a new one. Blitzen won’t like that; I think she still considers that to be her home. It’s also a good place for my outdoor friends to hide from Bad Cat. (Incidentally, Theo showed up today, looking reasonably okay – I hadn’t seen him in about a week.)
Then I got to read outside until it became cool, with no risk of mosquitos! Tomorrow it should be just in the 60s, then 50s for Saturday.
