I have a fun mission today. Our friends are out of town as they work towards moving away from here permanently (*sniff*), and they need someone to clear Jedi the Jindo out of their house for a showing later. I'm getting all sorts of brownie points for my willingness to drive down and do this. But that dog and I adore each other, and I'm always happy for the chance to see him. And since the weather abruptly shifted this week, the local forecast calls for near record high temperatures. So it will be easy enough to take him for a walk, and a fine time will be had by all. And as much as we don't want our friends to abandon us, I'll try to resist the urge to sabotaging their home to ruin the showing. Probably.
