Hovering In The Hood

You may not be able to tell too well from the pictures, but the little black spot is actually a helicopter hovering in the neighborhood. There are big power lines running alongside the development and every once in a while they come out and hover over them taking readings or whatever. Pretty cool to see the helicopter so close (objects in the picture are closer than they appear).

Last night was Elliott's 8th grade graduation. Very nicely done with a state senator speaking. They are big on decorum so there was no hoopla or carrying on. We sat with a few friends from church whose kids were graduating too so that was nice. I took pictures with Lucie's old camera but they didn't come out too well. I will post them later. Ashleigh went too of course and it brought back memories of her time there. Afterward one of Elliott's friend's parents had a party for a lot of the kids and parents so we went to that. That was nice too.

The rain has finally stopped here and should clear out soon. Tonight is Newark Night where they close down the main street of Newark and all sorts of vendors and performers set up shop. We go every year and roam around and have a good time. We will go again tonight.

Things took an unexpected and potentially great turn in the employment search this week. I will update about that when I can.

I got a notice today that this month marks my 20th anniversary of being a MENSA member. Funny, I don't feel any wiser...
