Bob the bug guy showed up. Two hours late, but at least he came. He claimed car problems as his excuse. Anne earned kudos from him for doing such an amazing prep job. Bob said that he would be able to get the spraying done faster because of her effort. He also told us not to return until four, so that the poison can dry. We immediately decamped to the laundromat. It was so much warmer in town than at the cabin, which was lucky for me because all of my warm clothes went into the washer. After laundry we went next to Penney’s Kitchen for a late lunch. With still plenty of time to kill before we could return to the cabin, after lunch we went down to the locks to look for some boats. There was plenty of boat traffic at the locks. So much so that we lost track of the time and were walking back to the car just as the meter maid slipped a ticket under our windshield wiper. Returning to the cabin, we found puddles of poison everywhere. You couldn’t walk across the floors without tracking it everywhere. Bob had left plenty of his own wet footprints. It is all over the windows too and who knows where else. I’m glad that Anne put tarps over the furniture before we left. There is a souvenir store in the Soo called The Gift Haus. It has an old-world German vibe, but in German the Gift Haus means the poison house. Strangely appropriate today. What a mess!
