Spent more 'quality' time with the cable company.  Ditched the phone hell and went up to Foster City to their store and spoke face to face with a really helpful and sweet guy - a huge fan of Portland - he goes every February to Huber's for a Spanish Coffee and dinner, then spends the rest of his vacation up on Mount Hood snowboarding.  This year was the exception as finally there was snow here at Lake Tahoe!  Oh, and we finally have TV.  Thanks, Alex!

Spoke to the realtor in Portland.  Set up a stager.  

Spoke to building manager here, apparently the fire alarm wasn't false, it was a build up of carbon monoxide and gaseous fumes from someone's kitchen range that had set off the building alarm - no property damage or fire, but could have been nasty.  Glad the kits and I got out.

Another palm peeking over in the extra, and a lovely cactus, too.
