Finally some things have been brought to finality here. Insurance finally came out with the second part of the installment, bring that whole stupid thing to an end.

Sad news from home yesterday. Our cat (well, not mine so much anymore) passed away yesterday afternoon. Scottie was an old (but happy) cat, born 17 or so years ago and named by me (after the famous explorer Scott )as he explored farther than the other kittens in his litter on my parents bedroom floor.
