Mail Day

Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Weather: low 72 degrees, high 92 degrees, mostly clear skies

The new mattress seems to have been a good choice, at least for now. We slept well last night. Now to see if we think the same after a few more nights.

We picked up our mail from the post office this morning. No surprises in the package when we opened it, which is the way we like it. The next delivery will be in about two weeks. We don't worry about any bills being late because everything is paid via the Internet or automatic bank payments. Those conveniences sure make it easier to travel.

After picking up the mail, we visited our friends Ruth and Marsha in Coker. Marsha's husband Chuck was working, and we missed seeing him. Maybe next time, Chuck. We had a great visit, as always. These are good people, and we feel fortunate to count them as friends.

Before coming home, we stopped and helped Terri with more of her stuff. To our relief, the pace that we have been keeping for the last three weeks has slowed down. There is still plenty to do, but for now, we appreciate the slower pace.

The rest of the afternoon was at home watching the PGA golf championship. A couple of times, I stopped and helped our neighbor with his air conditioner. Originally, he thought the thermostat was bad. The thermostat was replaced and the air conditioner was still broken. I loaned Rick our electrical tester and he found that the starting capacitor was burned out. He went to town and bought another one for $30.00, installed it, turned the air conditioner on, and had cool air again. It's too bad the mind set was that the thermostat had to be the problem. Further testing sooner might have meant not having to suffer in the heat.

More later, be safe.
