need to go to the Greyhound station and change the date of departure from Monday to Tuesday due to dog walking duties. Well, I am going to have some cerial, wait for this vidio to  upload, then head out for a trek in the cover of darkness.....On 2nd thought, I am just going back to sleep and get up early. I think that is wise at 3:20 am. Good night my friends.
