Last night I was at home watching movies and got a call from my mom. She wanted to come and visit and I was all for it!

Unfortunately she called right before I was going to bed, so I had no time to clean my apartment. 

That aside, her visit came none too soon. As we left my place I noticed that the right rear tire on my car was flat. Luckily mom was there, with her help, an air tank and a can of fix-a-flat my car is now capable of getting me to the tire place to get it fixed come tomorrow morning. 

That aside, I treated her to dinner at a restaurant called Char, and then we walked up and down King Street looking at all the shops. After that, we went to the greenway trail so mom could see the ruins of the old power station from 1919. It looks like a ruin from the Spanish Civil War. It is a stone building with no roof, huge holes in its walls and trees and vines growing inside of it. I will have to photograph it and post it here. It was a site to see.

We also did some scavenging from some of the stuff put out by people who have moved out. So far, I have got an end table, two futons, some clothes and some tools.

It was a good weekend. I feel good about today.
