Last night we had guests from Texas (knapper Jerry, and his son Nick) who stayed overnight on their way to Davis Creek and Glass Buttes (among other places.)  Jerry has bought rock from Tom in the past, but they'd never actually met until now.  Jerry and Nick have really been enjoying Arizona, and meeting us (and Pokey) and staying here was just an added bonus.

I agree with everything he says.
Life is good, and I am lucky!

I have a fair amount of paperwork to do today, and several piddly errands to run - but I also hope to make it to the gym!
