My roomie arrived! …but sadly she’s moving to the North Rim next Monday. A young geologist from Tennessee. She brought with her good cheer and an end to my solitary three day weekend by being the link to a fish taco night at an EE Ranger’s house who has obtained the coveted permanent status (which, in her case equals a real house). Our host had a sweet blue heeler (except when she nips), and two cinder colored cats who were a riot to watch on their lead ropes in the backyard. Cats on a leash, quite the sight. Five single ladies with glasses of wine, perfect end to an Arizona Monday night.
