Gary said he got a good test of his new rain poncho today. It started pouring while he was outside at the university waiting for the bus to take him home (he said he realized later he should have called the bus people and found out exactly when they’d be there to get him). The poncho worked well except his shoes and t.e.d. hose got wet. (Note to ourselves: Gary needs a spare pair of shoes!) So I got him changed out of those, put his tennies in the dryer, and found an old pair of slippers that fit him loosely. I told him to watch his feet while he had them on, as part of the function of his shoes these days is to protect his feet should he bang them into something while wheeling around in his chair.

Oh, someone asked about the ground squirrel. Apparently it slipped out a window one of those nights we had one open. At least I assume so – haven’t noticed a smelly carcass around anywhere ;-) (of course, knowing me, it’s possible I’ve overlooked it).
