Well, I've been in Plainville since Saturday afternoon. Both flights out (Phoenix to Dulles and Dulles to Hartford) went very smoothly (yea, United Airlines!). Both flights not only left on time, but they each landed early which made connecting in Dulles (and getting some breakfast between flights) quite easy.

I got local buses to the house (3 in all) and that went pretty well, except the last route into Plainville apparently has changed since I last rode on that line a few years ago. I didn't realize they had a different pickup point which delayed my getting into town by about an hour.

However, during that time, I did get to see a pigeon the likes of which I've never seen before. It looked like a bald eagle in pigeon's clothing.

I'd post a picture of it, but I'm posting from a Starbucks at the moment and forgot the memory card at the house. Aaaargh!

Ah, well. Still it's been a reasonably relaxing time. I've gotten some yard work done for my mother with more to come. Got a few things done inside the house as well including finding a few things to bring back with me.

Anyway, I'll post photos as soon as I can, probably Thursday or Friday. Off to read/write email and see what other trouble I can get into in the next few minutes on the web.
