It's pouring buckets outside right now. I've been waiting for two hours for it to let up, but maybe I'll resort to putting a bag over my head. . .I'd like to sleep in my bed tonight.
I spent all day untangling fishing line. That said, I calculated that the line is probably about 1000 feet long. It's worth it: I'm going to install this as part of a show I'm having in November at UNM. Another five hours and I should have it completely untangled.
I am the most patient person I know today. What I learned while untangling filament:
1. Fishing hooks feel like kitten's claws: slightly sharp, but not enough to break the skin. (I have an updated tetanus shot all the time anyway.)
2. It's better to loosen up the tangled mess than to force it to untangle. Gentle coaxing is pretty much all you can do to straighten things out. Sounds like a good life lesson.
3. . . .lyrics to a bunch of Aretha Franklin songs! Anyone know the Border Song/Holy Moses? It's my new favorite.
Here's a photo of the storm coming on this afternoon.
Wonder if Amanda will brave the rain with me. Last night made three nights in a row now.
I'm sorry this isn't longer, I'm just really tired! Have a good evening and stay dry.

Amy...Tornado warnings here (although the storm looks really north of us) and it is pouring here. Amazing you have rain too! Is fish line a bit like tangled yarn???
Love, Mom Carter
