already i am sweltering and i have only been told it will be awfully hot today.  i really want to get one row of rocks around the sand pile.

mark got the chicken side lined with generic rocks.. the t tent and driveway side  are supposed to have the more organized cobblestones  defining the sand pile/ 

mark also got 3 of the looooooong ti[i poles from teh 27 foot tipi we used to have..( i saved them in the arena) 

 i just want to put up a tripod to define the visual and be sure to get the camera in the right spot....

turns out that "driveway" camera is one of our more popular  because of the. constant activity-- of dogs too..... with people walking dogs to and from the deagle h ouse

i did watch the  "normal " news this morning- i feel terrible for the parents of the little kid caught in this war.....

 i felt equally bad for the parents of the 14 kids probably shot  on an average night in chicago.. which is so normal it never got mentioned.

todays the day i have to turn in my news article-- by noon.......hmmmmmmmm
