WLToo has covered the dining table with N-scale railroad model buildings again. He found another fox of kits he'd never put together. Where he's going to store the completed buildings is a mystery to me -- the garage is already full of stuff waiting on a structure to be built to contain it. Sigh.
Just got word that an Army buddy likely only has about 24 hours left. Johns Hopkins tried all kinds of experimental treatments, and one nearly killed him through anaphylactic shock. The others prolonged his life, but could not stop the cancer. We're standing by, ready to get Nephew over here to cat sit while we go to Virginia.
The most hated word in our world is "cancer."
