Today was spent running around getting the last few items secured in the yard and adding to our stockpile of petrol for the generator. This last was a minor adventure as there was no longer any gas to be had in our part of Portsmouth. I went to Newport News and on the way back saw a Hawk on I-164 get thwacked by a car and knocked into the service lane.

Now, red tailed hawks are endangered, so If I touched it in the process of taking it to the bird rehab place I could get sent far away and fined. Also it was a red tailed hawk...it could take my face off. So, I called animal control.
After a bit a Portsmouth Policeman arrived, followed by a State Trooper. We stood around while the bird glared at us. As animal control pulled up, the bird, sensing the paddy wagon approaching, staggered up and soared away.

Been Distracted.
The mosquitoes are abominable this year.
One of the dozens of bites my mom received over the last few days got infected, so she went into the hospital.
She's out now, the arm looks better and she's on antibiotics.
Oh, and my sister just informed me, I'm gonna have a niece.
