"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." -Anonymous

My guests will be late. My nephew Jeff called from Houston airport. His connecting plane between Seattle and Columbus is not due to take off until just before five p.m. local time. They can't find the pilot.

My sister, my niece and my grandnephew are on another plane out of LAX due to arrive any minute now (5-ish EDT) in Columbus.

They had scheduled their flights to arrive within twenty minutes of each other. They ordered one car rental.

Jeff sent a text to my niece but she is probably still not able to receive it in flight. He hjas called me twice about setting up a one-way rental for them from Columbus to Tiffin. The only car rental here is Enterprise. Nearest Hertz is about 40 miles northwest in Maumee. Jeff's daughter works for Hertz so they set up their planned rental with that agency.

Looks like my sister and the two with her will have to wait three hours for Jeff's late flight.

I had planned to meet them on the edge of town here as they drove up from Columbus, lead them to the Mexican restaurant and eat before we went to the house.

I guess that made him laugh!

Doobie is home again. He was ticked off at me, I could tell. But we have made up and he wanted food. I am going to give him Medicam for the pain starting in the morning. Did you know that a one-testicle neutering (that's all he had!) is called a Cryptorchid?

I would feel his pain, but I'm too tired. Besides, I still have my two.

So, my sister rented a car from Hertz and they called just as they were getting on I-670. We will have to take the car up to Maumee to turn it in. Anyway, there's a really good bookstore there, so I won't waste the gas.

Thassall.
