The trip home was relatively uneventful. Lots of folks crowding the terminal in LAX, even at 5:30ish a.m. And on the Denver end, long, long lines to the Concourse A security, and to the main security as well. Odd.<\/p>\n
The flight itself was uneventful, too. Kitten, having been awakened Way Too Early, stayed awake the whole trip, and nearly all the way home.<\/p>\n
Sometime over the last week, though, one of our sprinkler zones turned on — and wouldn’t turn off. Result? Big swampy mess in its area of control, lots of dry yard in all other areas.<\/p>\n
It also doesn’t look like the utility folks came out and mapped where the utilities come through the yard. Hrm.<\/p>\n
And our main phone line is awfully staticky, which may be because of the drenching in that zone, or may be some other reason.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
