Yeah, the red spots are back on my arm and in my scalp. Looks like melanoma again. Will probably face the hydrogen touch again on Monday afternoon.

We had rain in Reno yesterday morning but little after five am. We had windy weather most of the day and, from the looks of it, will have a nice, clear, warm day today.

I saw some real beauty yesterday afternoon. An arm of clouds came down over Cone Mountain, enveloping the peak and leaving below an aura of the Scottish high lands. Naw, not really. For sure, the craggy peaks and canyons are missing here.

Here the mountains are rounded rather than craggy and evidence of the green of life is sparse. Rather, it became a part of heaven coming down to meet man.

In terms of items of interest, JoAnne's brother is coming to the states. He has lived in Australia for many years, being a college professor in Melbourne for a long time.

My understanding is that he is on sabbatical with a stop here in California as a part of visits to both Japan and China. It will be his first opportunity to meet Bud(his first great nephew).

We have the theater on Wednesday night, I have the SIR Luncheon on Thursday, we have chorus practice on Thursday night and JoAnne has her Bridge group on Friday.

Could come back to Reno on Saturday, but JoAnne has her Healthy Heart group on Sunday. Have to get back up to Reno before the following Thursday. JoAnne is headed south to Yorba Linda on Thursday and we will need the Mitsubishi in Sacramento in order to accommodate possible movement of the dogs. (JoAnne will take the Subaru south, and the Z doesn't have the space for the comfortable movement of Teddy and Winston.)

I sure do like our two SUV's. They are much more convenient than either station wagons or vans. They are not as bulky as a van and have much more versatility than either a van or a station wagon.

Best of all is the fact that both get 25 miles on each gallon of gas with the Subaru getting 30 on highway trips.

The AWD on both make them very convenient for special trips and much more reliable in the snow.

Dang! Duty calls. Y'all take care hear?
