Or rather, at the moment on to scraun23's dinner party. (me, looking at my phone which had just delivered a text message: "Oh, I was hoping it was going to be from an interesting boy, but it's from a boy who's going to feed me dinner instead, so I guess that's ok.")

and it is raining. Rain, rain, rain, possibly through tomorrow, and unfortunately all the tarps at the site were already under backdirt piles, so the units are all sitting out uncovered and getting rained in. Hm...

I swear there was something else I was going to say, but I don't remember what it was.
