It is 1:45 in the morning. I am out in the farmland of Kansas trying to get a cell site back up. Waiting on other people now to hopefully do their part.

Hazel likes my back pack.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.
