home again
once again the most dangerous part of our two week trip to south america was the drive to the airport. the car behind us was rear-ended while unloading luggage. fortunately no one and no thing was damaged. we returned home to find: the lawn is dead because the sprinklers failed, a cabinet door just fell off, a tub scratched all to hell, a non-functional deadbolt, and the neighbors tore down our fence. well, at least the cat wasn't fat.
