Busy, busy during the time Dennis is gone. Laundry done, floors damp mopped and all of the livestock is present and accounted for. The house is uncommonly quiet. The music from Dennis’ command station is silent, much different than the sounds of his computer card games that can almost give out a surround sound. Dennis called last night and has connected with buddies from various states. It’s very healthy for Dennis to get out of Dodge and chew the leather as to what others are doing.
