Got an e-mail from my ex-, whom I haven’t heard from in the last 25 years or so, letting me know that my 2nd daughter died yesterday of an infection. And that’s all the details I’ve gotten.

And, since I haven’t had any contact with her either for almost as long, the most I can work up is “Sorry for your loss.” My condolences to her husband and daughter.

I regret that we didn’t have a better relationship; but it wasn’t my decision. I knew that she homesteaded up in Canada but that was about it.

Goodbye, Rachael. I can’t miss you anymore than I have.

Had a nice thunder & lightning storm last Sunday & Monday. Been half-assed wet out since. So not getting a lot done outside. Which includes finishing replacing the deck boards.

Otherwise, SSDD.
