I arrived in Phoenix two days ago to an email from Astrid in Vienna. No smugness or gloating - just a few sentences offering us a place to stay if things go crazy. Very very much appreciated. We also have places we can stay in Mexico. Very grateful for that, too. It makes it easier knowing we have multiple options in the face of what is coming.

In Austria one would say I've tended the garden well. Rob

It's good to know you have options. What will finally be the last straw to trigger your decades long obsession?

Happy for you, Rob. Sometimes just knowing there are alternatives is helpful.

They can also be horrible.  My family has been coming over to "clean and organize my house".  Only they have hid both bills and medical supplies and stated they were going to reorganize my kitchen, less then two months after I put it to where I know where everything is.  Bastards.
