Minor notes

The back yard got visited by at least one raccoon this morning. Possibly two, since the second sighting presented with a forepaw being carefully favoured as if injured. I did not try to find out if there was an actual injury by hands-on examination, as I've heard and read enough stories to want to avoid the Nicoll Effect. Pictures were successfully taken despite battery run-down in one camera and a jamming of the film spooling apparatus in the other. (Didn't seem to be my morning for good luck with wildlife photography for reasons unclear to me.)

After this came the Cleaning of the Goldfish Barrel. It took about an hour with help, and the fresh tap water (Non sequitur?) will need about 8-12 hours to cure properly before the Tenant may be safely returned home again for another 6-12 months.

This afternoon will involve some shopping downtown. More on that later today.
