My virions seem well rested, so I will go to work tomorrow (Thursday). No runny nose, but first disrupted sleep, then some aching and general malaise, later with a feeling in my lungs that was faintly reminiscent of pneumonia--that worried me a bit, but lasted less than a day.
The roots of our tulip tree invaded the septic tank, so the former will have to go and the latter be de-rooted (a major project, I am sure). Today I took cuttings of the tree to root; I also pulled up three small roots with bark showing above ground, which presumably have latent buds. If I can get a tree started from the cuttings or roots, it will go (far away from the septic tank) near the plum tree, eventually to replace same (which is showing its age). It looks like the Belle of Georgia peach may have croaked; maybe not enough water, maybe strangled by roots of the old peach tree nearby.

A "road zepplin"--I love it! And in a convenient carry-on bag that will fit into the overhead bin! Is it TSA approved?
