Joe turned me onto "Otel" where I was able to book a hotel room at the Riviera for $159 plus tax and fees. This is a significant savings. The bottom line was $184. I went over to the greenhouse and fetched the roll of plastic to line another plantroom shelf. The resin is not holding up for me. Perhaps the coating was too thin. Routed the cable from outside to the stereo and temporarily hooked up the FM antenna on a twenty foot pole. The FM reception is excellent. I will try to mount this on the roof or else on a pole in the side yard. Dinner was the Farfalle Kale with a glass of shiraz. We listened to Traviata live otnight. It was the season premiere. Domingo seems to slur his Italian words compared to other renditions we have heard over the years.
