[Birders] Christmas Eve Birding

[Anne Cutting]

I didn't get a chance to call you back. Delivery came
and we left on our trip. I thought it was pretty hairy
driving. We hit two snow storms and that snow swirling
in the dark in your windshield was nervewracking for
me. Cecil sailed through it all with the greatest of
ease. We spent the night at a Motel 6 in Redding and
Maria had my suitcase for a step up to my bed and she
used her little piddle pads for her toilet in the
night. She has a very active bladder, but really she
drinks loads of water.    Doug called as their bags
were arriving in Kauai and told of nightmarish ticket
fuck ups on boarding. They were with another family
who also got fucked over and as the wife and children
were boarding they stopped the husband and told him
he'd have to take a later flight So Doug doesn't know
where he is. 

So now we wait for Marion. No rain here now. That's
good. Cecil brought our bikes so tomorrow we'll ride
around a bit if it's still not raining..

Aren't you Ms fancy pants getting a Christmas eve
invite from Bets.

Going to have to buy some groceries and act like a
grown up.

Tweedly Do to you. Love, Anne
