Friday July 15th 2016

It was a very humid morning. The day started in the mid 70s and topped out in the mid 90s. For most of the day the overall comfort factor was best described as oppressive. Toward evening the humidity dried out a little. The forecast for tomorrow is for similar highs with less humidity.

Outside work at the house continued to be difficult. The sun and humidity resulted in a break every 15 or 20 minutes. As the day progressed the breaks got longer than the work periods. I switch focus to cleaning in the kitchen. I have one cabinet of dishes that still needs to be taken to Goodwill. For some reason, I’ve been ignoring the cabinet over the stove. It contains bowls and things that I rarely used.

I finally got through to one of the real estate people on my short list. I used the Email feature of their web page. I got a call back from some vacation location. We will be meeting on Monday.

I don’t know if it’s the time of year, the market or my property, but making contact with real estate people has been a challenge. I am not being real persistent with them. If they don’t get back to me after my initial attempt at contact, I move on to the next one. My assumption is they don’t want my business.

Back at the campground this evening, things have been slow to fill up. Most nights everyone is in by 7PM or so. Tonight there are still many open sites with RVs still arriving after 8PM. This may be because of a major accident on Interstate 495 north bound. It occurred shortly before I went by south bound at quarter to four. I saw an upside down blue dump truck in the median and completely stopped traffic as far south as I could see on the north bound side. The news is reporting that the accident had a fatality.

There aren’t any new long distance travelers in the campground tonight. Most of the non New England plates are from other eastern states. Travelers come in for the night on their way to other destinations or spend a few nights and take day trips to Boston, Southern Maine or Cape Cod. I had a conversation with a gentleman from Alabama that went to Maine one day and Boston the next. They were here in the north to get away from the humidity. I think they brought it with them.
