That darned leak
Last night we had a downpour again and the leak under the desk I thought I had found and sealed leaked big time again. I won't bore you here with the details - you can read all about this latest adventure at A Tale of Two Leaks.

The Trespasser's Eyeshine
She put the butt end of the flashlight against her forehead, just above the space between her eyebrows. It was something she'd learned long ago about seeing at night. A light shined from there would reveal nothing of herself to a trespasser, and from that spot on her forehead a beam would go straight to the retinas and return to her own eyes the characteristic color of the trespasser's eyeshine. If it had eyes, of course, and if they were looking at her directly.
