Off to Reno

The cats got packed up and carted off to Miss Kitty's, their home away from home. Sidney ran up to the window and seemed to settle right in. Harley, on the other hand, was not happy. Hissing and swatting, she didn't want to stay in the room. Sometimes she goes in without a fuss, this time she wasn't quite as happy to do so.

Besides the cats, the other living things that need to be taken care of when we leave are the indoor plants and Corey's new seedlings. She's got peppers, tomatoes, and something else started in the greenhouse. The biggest problem of course is water delivery while we're away. I think this time around since we're away for a relatively short time, Corey just gave all the plants a lot of water that should last them for a couple of days. For longer trips she might set up a timed drip system that she tried out last year. It seemed to work pretty well so she might use it when we go to Italy in a few weeks.

We got to Reno late Friday night, around 1am after a 2 hr delay in Houston. I was a bit ticked about that since we missed the free shuttle to the hotel and had to grab a cab. But better late than never I suppose. A short night's sleep, then it was up early the next day to get to the conference I'm attending. After the conference we walked around Reno a bit, had dinner, then hit the craps table. This morning up once again for the final day of the symposium. Later today I think we'll check out the mall, then tonight dinner and who knows. Maybe we'll try our luck again at the craps table or something else, we'll see.
