Didn't know that. Will have to let the maintenance guy know. Thanks for the tip!

Yes, something at the church. They said baseboards, flooring, carpet were ruined, but I found out today that they found asbestos too. This is a very old building apparently. I can give them your number if you are interested. (I think I still have it in my phone.) Right now, they are waiting on the insurance company to tell them what will be covered and what will not be covered.

They are replacing the roof tiles at my apartment complex. Never knew how noisy that could be. Especially at 6:30am on a Saturday...

Lamb was on sale again. I wonder how they can ship it from New Zealand, for less than the cost of an American lamb. I got the front end. The arm, shoulder, and ribs. It makes a fantastic roast. It's vacuum sealed. If I were smart, I would have got more and froze them.

New Zealand has more sheep than people. They're just trying to keep the island from sinking into the ocean.
