The material conditions at home seemed to be a little disturbed. Pop is still having trouble with the phones - that half-ring business - and he is trying to set up a new XM radio, and the browser on his computer will not function. Interestingly, I am not personally affected, nor am I really feeling any fallout from any of this, but there is this feeling that this is a tender time, like you never know what else might go wrong. One wants to go through the day gingerly.
