Lots going on, not much earth shattering, just moving the boulder further up hill . . . will be interesting to see what shows up new by tomorrow, I hope there aren’t as many changes as last week! Sorry, its city only, it took too long to wade through everything this morning. (If someone knowledgeable at the county wanted to help me out, and let me know what’s coming up, that sure would be helpful . . . hint, hint.)
