Happy Birthday to the Patient

To celebrate this milestone the Patient and his daughter are out in the front garden pulling weeds. I am perched - literally - on a big beach ball-like "chair" in Cait's office, using her PC (aarg!) as the MacLap can't seem to find a WiFi signal. Ike is dozing at my feet. All is right with the world, or at least here in beautiful Bozeman.

We went downtown yesterday to do chores and got caught in a fierce downpour that also included quite a nice hail storm. I took pictures but can't get them on here. I'll save them for the trusty Mac when it's working again. More rain yesterday afternoon. Low clouds last night made for a splendid sunset. This is a magnificent spot. It gives real meaning to the term "wide open spaces."

After the weeding is done we will make a trip overto the Museum of the Rockies, always a treat. A celebratory dinner tonight to welcome the Patient into another year of continued good health and hijinks.
