The humidity, while high, seems like it&#8217;s maybe a bit lower lately?  Dunno, the sun roasting my head had me soaked in sweat in only a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I was up early yesterday and still spent all morning at the computer.  Spent almost all afternoon doing pickups too.   Not quite, I was home by 3pm and did some domestic bliss, cleaning, and sorting.  Still, not the most productive day.  Did meet another auction buyer that I had a nice chat with about real estate and Houston neighborhoods.   <\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve got to do a bunch of stuff around the house.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be doing pickups but who knows for sure.  There are a couple I could do, but at least one seller will wait until next week.<\/p>\n<p>I made a little progress organizing and putting stuff away.  Very little.  <\/p>\n<p>I did pick up a couple of audio book CDs.  Jack Reacher short stories, and Prince Caspian.  The last time I listened to the Narnia books it was the set produced by Focus on the Family &#8211; fully produced and voice acted, not &#8216;abridged&#8217; as much as &#8216;adapted&#8217;.   This version is just a single female reader and unabridged.   I like it.  Language in common usage sure has degraded.  And so has Jolly Olde&#8230; as both boys were waiting for the train back to school, and they both have pocketknives.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to the BOL today, D1 asked to stay home so she can babysit, and I agreed.  We&#8217;ll go up Saturday morning.  W and D2 will head up tonight.  That&#8217;s the plan anyway.  We know about plans&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a whole load of stuff to stack at the BOL.   Make sure you have stacks somewhere besides your  home, if you can swing it.<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot and humid.
