Another beautiful day—not a cloud in the sky. We’re waiting for Ted G. He was due at 9 A.M. Now we learn (at 10 A.M.) he was on time & the S.S. wouldn’t let him through the gate. Nancy got on the phone & got things straightened out. It had to do with his car. The boys just wanted the bomb dogs to sniff it. He wasn’t suspect—the security is concerned that someone coming to see us might not know that someone slipped a bomb under the car attached to a magnet. Well Ted & Peter are here & once again it’s picture hanging etc. It was an unpack plus desk work day. Come shower time & we couldn’t. The hot water was shut off because of a faucets failure that wouldn’t shut off. Dinner & bed.
