jennlkFCB Concert Band vs The Weather -- the FCB won last Monday's match. It was pretty much perfect weather for a concert in the park (in their backyard). Just enough breeze to keep the bugs down (the building uses citronella in the courtyard, so that helps). The building we were at is two sides of a square, with the building itself shielding the courtyard from the road and the parking lot, and looking out over a large city park.
Ji -- doing much better. Whatever he had, the meds are working on. I took him in for a followup with his actual vet on Tuesday (SOP, once Lane gets test results back). He was already perkier and less glum. Doc says he sounded fine and was staying hydrated. He was fairly chatty in the waiting room, so one of the vet assistants came out with a "calming towel", thinking he was scared. Nope, he was expressing his displeasure with being in the box. He's been getting very vocal about his desire to go outside. He's also annoyed with me for misplacing J. Still not happy about the antibiotic, but doesn't hiss or fight anymore. Still trots off and hides under the bed when it's done, but only for a few minutes, then comes out for his treat.
Weather in general -- not hot. no rain, though. We got just over a tenth of an inch (2mm) of rain yesterday, but other than that, nothing appreciable here since sometime in June. Other places in the metro area have been doing much better. Last Saturday, I drove up to Southfield for a thing, and got dumped on both ways, and it rained pretty much all the time we were there. The flat roofed building we were in still leaks a bit around the atrium windows. Always has, to the best of my knowledge. (It was held at the building where I went to church when I was younger. The church sold the building in the early 1990s and moved to Farmington.)
A source tells me that the Belle Isle concert series got rained out on Sunday (July 22). So their season is not going as well as ours. They've had at least two days of matches cancelled due to weather. (The source is CB, who plays in both the FCB and one of the groups scheduled for July 22. Another of the groups he plays in is scheduled for sometime in August. He's hoping for cool weather and no frogs or fire. :) )
