Last night while sitting in my chair
I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.

Say hi to Art Bell.

> How's the kid?
he's off school this week & "helping" the guys build the
barn. the foreman gave him lessons on using the excavator
yesterday... apparently it's way more fun than the backhoe.
today they're installing the doors. he just came in to get
his hammer, because all good workmen bring their own tools ;)
he says there are 2 kids living next door, but they aren't
allowed outside unless their parents are home (which is
apparently never, as they moved in 8 months ago & i didn't
know there were kids). he keeps trying to go play, but they
can't. poor kids. must drive them nuts to see him out playing
(sans grownups) when they're not allowed & they're older (9 &
12, he says). i do think the parents are nuts though. the
first thing they did on moving in was install huge lights all
around the house... what? are the wolves going run out of the
woods & eat you? sheesh. kills stargazing.
oh, Boo did his science fair project on capillary action. he
grew white chard, watered them with food colors & got colored
chard. cooler than making flowers change color.

and in Litchfield.

Art is quite reclusive. I've lived here for 9 years, and have only caught sight
of him once, at a gas station. And this is a small town, only 35,000
population. Although we're both ham radio operators, I've never spoken to Art
on the air either.

Almost never get snow here, on the valley floor. But the surrounding mountain
peaks get a lot of snow. On the Las Vegas side of the mountain, there is a ski
area.
Temps this time of year average 65 high and 30 low. Not exactly toasty. But in
June and July, it's over 100 most days, sometimes 112 to 115. That's toasty!
Locals say "Yeah, but it's a dry heat." But so is an oven. :-)
Wonder why I just saw this.
Congrats to Boo.
As for the neighbor's kids - poor things. I have always let mine wander a
bit more than most parents. It's hard to be kept on apron strings.

i can imagine that those kids are going to be really
troublesome teenagers. when they rebel, & it's likely they
will, they're going to be wild...

As a kid that wandered far and wide, I've encouraged mine to do so as well.

65 sounds toasty, so does 30

yup. Boo earned the right to cross the pasture to the pond by
himself last summer. the stipulations were tell an adult
before you head over & stay away from the road. he needs to be
a bit less scatterbrained to be allowed to ride his bike on
the road though. despite the town selectnuts telling me that
building Hanneford's wouldn't increase through traffic on our
road, it has & a lot of the increased traffic is 10-18
wheelers, and numbbrains trying to avoid the lights on 4, who
drive 50 MPH on a zoned 25MPH road.
