Day #5745 – (Sun., Sep. 28, 2025) – Trampoline Summersaults!

We invited Esca over to play on our new trampoline today but he couldn’t come, so they invited Bobby over to their place from 10-12 noon instead. They were having such a great time that Esca’s mom texted and asked if he could stay longer. My wife finally picked him up at 1:39 pm and they were bouncing up and down on Esca’s trampoline! Esca was doing somersaults, so Bobby might want to try that out on our trampoline as well.

The screw that I picked up at Home Depot the other day worked on the armoire!

The photo to the right shows the terrible accident that cause the backup of traffic on Friday afternoon. It was just outside the Heritage House Pub, across the street from Amanda’s office. Unfortunately there was a loss of life. There is such a bad traffic jam in the afternoons getting out of Courtenay, and few lights to assist drivers on the side streets. I’m not sure if this was the cause of this accident, but I wouldn’t be surprised!

We ordered vitamins for the chickens.

There have been at least 324 mass shootings – defined as when at least four people are shot, not including the shooter – in the US so far this year!

Both Katie and I area fighting off “something”. Katie said that she is much better today than yesterday, and I seem to feel better in the afternoons, so there is hope…

It was raining tonight when I locked the chickens up. It seems that the long sunny days of summer are giving way to the short rainy days of fall…
