---Finally getting my order out to Sam’s Dot for Bruce Boston’s new novel, as well as the Bruce story collection, Flashing the Dark.

---Rain finally seems to be letting up and isn’t scheduled to be back here for a few days. Sump pump is operating for the first time in a while, kicking on every five minutes or so. Compare that to every 20 seconds in the “Flood Year” of 1993. But the 20-30 mph ENE winds blowing the rain into crevices not ordinarily so tested did bring back the old adrenaline of battling the elements. As usual, maybe I over-reacted, but there is still a long tornado and torrential rain and thunder and lightning season remaining to fret about. Easily thrown off stride at my best, this got me going even more on my cellar reorganization project a bit more in earnest--at the cost of my performing my other duties the way I should. As always the hope is that I can create the right sort of environment for high achievement. Yeah, right.
