Great dawn patrol yesterday-- 6-8 footers with no wind and enough cloud cover to keep from breaking a sweat. Some of the year's best surfing so far, although there'll be more to come this Thu-Sat.
One of our more entrepreneurial neighbors coordinated a neighborhood garage sale of about 10 homes spread out across six blocks. We cleaned out our Goodwill-donation closet a little but the real fun was talking story with the neighbors and shopping each other's junk. I found a HP Scanjet 3570c that claims to do 35mm slides as well as paper & photos. $30-- the owner never even too it out of the box. The real convenience was being able to get a piece of hardware without having to drive all over the island pricing the sales and trying to find a "good" scanner. This one is probably "good enough". I think that it's one of the older scanners in the neighborhood... after mine.
Our daughter's coming home in three weeks. She must have decided summer school just wasn't busy enough-- she's taken a job as a campus tour guide. I wish I'd had that opportunity to practice my public-speaking skills at that age.
Today's been a morning workout & grocery shopping. Now it's going to be a whole lot of paperwork sorting & filing.
