We have had some nice if brief lightening and rain storms the last couple of nights. The parched soil has sucked up everything that came down without a trace. Today will be a long day and tomorrow we will already start working at the visitor information center at 3 Nalbandyan. Hopefully we will have a phone line and a computer! It is crazy how day after day we are running around and things can move so slooowly. It is partly because we are publicly funded so purchasing things is not nearly as easy as just going out and buying something. We make an RFP (Request for Proposals) then collect the bids, then notice they have bid wrong, then go clarify, then wait for them to get the money transfer/cash their check, then, we get finally our stuff. Meanwhile we are also one person short on our staff, so I am doing the work of two people, and not able to do all that needs to be done.
