Frank, sorry to hear about that, in turn, prays are in order for sure.
Yet another day of unpacking and rearranging things so that we have some semblance of order. On a positive note, our old house was around three miles from the BNSF mainline running parallel to Grand Ave. That's the way it's been since around the '20's or '30's. Well, we are now less than a mile from Grand Ave. and, of course, the mainline, and just two blocks from an industrial spur. Right now, the spur is used mostly for bringing liquid natural gas to an underground storage facility created with the removal of a large salt deposit. It's hard to believe that they are mining salt here in the desert by flushing it out with water, then letting it evaporate. The void left is then used to store the gas which is brought in by tank cars. We are also closer to Luke AFB, a training base used for F-16's and now, F-35's. I saw a formation of four F-35's flying just to the east of us yesterday as they approached to land.
We will be busy for some time getting things the way we need them and probably longer to get use to where we are.
