Decidedly not a rant

Today was a surprisingly good day.  After the storm last night, the news was calling for on-and-off showers all morning.  The kind that we have to work through because they're not hard or long enough to ruin the paperwork or allow us time to get back to the car before they stop again.  The showers never came.  And because of the storm, both the humidity and the temperature were lower making it much more pleasant to work outside than it has been the last couple of days. 

Then we had the vegetation.  For the last couple of days we've either had extremely dense vegetation, the kind where it takes an hour to walk 100m, or we've had inundated areas where the water was over our wellies.  Today, neither.  In the one small area of inundation the water was only a couple of inches deep.  The woods were fairly open and we even had a couple of cow pastures and an ag. field.  At the end of the day we surveyed 550m in an hour. 

To round out these other pleasantries, we found a small site including a point and a bi-face.  The two landowners we came in contact with, already knew we were going to be there and just came out because they were curious about what we do.  The one who owned the land with the site, told us all about the "arrowheads" he used to find when he used to plow the land.  Plus he had three cute, friendly dogs who sat with us while we ate lunch. 

Finally, because we don't have to work tomorrow, the crew is going out bowling tonight.  Really the only thing that would have made today better is if I had gotten enough sleep last night, instead of lying awake trying to figure out who needed to turn down the base on whatever music system they were using.

Sounds like you had a good day, which is always good. I love bowling...hope you have a good time. I know all about not getting sleep because of music. My neighbors used to be the kind who liked to play loud music. I spent years not getting enough sleep, I am so glad they moved.

I finally figured out that the music was actually the soundtrack backing whatever they were watching on tv. I'm glad it's a hotel and I wont have to deal with it for more than a few days. I don't deal well with very little sleep. Years would be unbearable
