The Midnight Bandit

Tuesday July 02, 2002

We had a late night visitor last night. Apparently a raccoon tore open the screen in the kitchen window and entered the house. We didn't hear it happen as we were shut up in the bedroom with a room air-conditioner. Tom got up for a bathroom trip and sensed something. When he went in the kitchen he saw something raccoon-like slip back out the window. He came in the bedroom to get his glasses so he could actually see and kindly cleaned up the mess from the compost bucket getting knocked over, and the cookie jar had been dumped, the oreos eaten. It escaped with the recyclables bag too. I am guessing it was the beer bottle or wine bottle smell that triggered that. He also checked the house to make sure that it had really left. And then went back out and checked again when I asked him if he was absolutely positive it was gone. He is very sweet to me.

I got the pictures up on the Sweetwood web page and it would be good if we had some of the altar area and maybe some of the path down towards the circle area, tents up on the campsites, etc. I also finally got the indents removed from the bylaws page as Kim suggested. I am still working on it today but don't know how much more will actually get finished and uploaded yet today. I expect to have the events page and Freedom Fest page up tomorrow. And plan on linking to one of the rituals that we did for the Aquarian deities that I already have coded. I don't think it was the first one though.

Eventually I will get those up too but they take a lot more individual coding so are on what I consider my refinements and expansion list, not the initial what needs to be there to be a full but basic site list.
