Awake: 6:15am Temp 66 sleep 6+13 intermittent rain overnight @ Nicktown.
Kenny called & we continued our talk about house plans; he reminded me of other things that must be considered like filing for permits, planning ahead for a contractor, etc.
Gary C. called; he gave me a briefing about his recent truck travels & the loss of his air conditioning compressor...leading up to losing his alternator as well; interesting story.
Larry G. called from Wisconsin; we talked about their 4th of July fireworks & the ahhs & oohs that came from the crowd. Larry & his wife Sally may be traveling east & might look us up in the process. I encouraged him to let us know & we'd treat them right.
Early afternoon, Kathy brought in the cardboard from the Suzuki & we both spent some time continuing our dimensional miniature model house plans.
Dinner: stuffed peppers, grapes, Bing cherries & mango slices.
Evening movie: "Billy Liar" with Tom Courtenay, Julie Christie, Wilfred Pickles, Mona Washbourne, etc. Cast excels in story of ambitious but lazy young man caught in dull job routine who escapes into fantasy world, offering some poignant vignettes of middleclass life. 1963. Attention-grabbing story; how many Billy Liar's do we have out there? Any of them in our government!
Lights out: 12:07am.
