Is it the darkest before the light?

Yesterday, things looked good. I took Margaret for a ride through "downtown" Idaho Falls plus a quick tour of the local shopping paradise. If it's got a Best Buy and a Circuit City, it's got to be paradise. Right?

That was yesterday. Today is today and what a difference a day makes. Margaret did not sleep last night - spent most of the night coughing (and the cough is not a pretty sound). Today she is zombie-like, but refuses go to back to the doctor. She has two more days-worth of anti-biotics. But these pills usually result in large improvements with a week. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

The wind is blowing constantly - maybe an artifact of the desert environ? They say it will be cooler this weekend, but to a lad from the south, it seemed like fall was here this a.m. A nice, crisp feel to the breeze. Maybe their fall comes early? After all, it is the middle of August and we're not that far from the Canadian border. Perhaps we'll get an early snowfall?

Tomorrow a.m. I take the rental car back - assuming we'll leave Sunday. I plan to do some miscellaneous chores to the unit like fastening our dining table so it doesn't rock. I think I've fixed the toilet problem - at least for the moment.

They have a great Sam's Club here. Don't know whether it was better lit or the aisles were wider, but it was quite nice. No Costco however. Guess the shopping fever hasn't reached here yet?

That's all for now.
