@ Bucksome: LOL! Finally I realized that the reason she doesn’t like to go out in wet weather is that she’s so low to the ground that whenever she walks over wet ground — even if it’s not grassy — her belly gets wet, and her little legs are soaked up over the knees. It must be uncomfortable and cold.

I’m with you; we don’t know how to deal with rain here in the SW. My dog isn’t as bad as yours about going out; but he is much quicker about doing his business!

@ Revanche: We’re talkin’ 326 pages of proofs here… At the rate my contraption works, it’d take about a month to scan that much copy.

Oh good grief, have a safe trip! I wish scanner, fax and email could have spared you the trip, but I guess it’s not to be.

@ frugalscholar: She’s out of town. She called two days ago, anxious to get the copy ASAP. Her sidekick is standing next to the door waiting for me to stumble in out of the rain.

And a deadline is a deadline. Rain is no excuse.

Oh darn. NPR just went off the air, minutes after the Nat’l Weather Service pre-empted the local news with one of those “Air Raid Eminent” beeping public terror announcements, in which we were told that it’s raining.

Why not call the editor? I can just see you driving out there with your work only to discover that the recipient did not show up at work because of the weather.

Be careful!
