Yes, twice now I've gotten text messages from www.beaspy.com.
In other news, I had a lovely visit to a potential apartment complex. It's called "The Mill at Indian Leap", in Norwich, CT.
Lovely grounds, and the residents seem to be very nice. I got smiles, and one woman was more than willing to take a few minutes to answer my questions. I've taken pictures of Indian Leap, and they can be viewed here--a new window will open.
--Connecticut Falls-Yantic falls
I took a walk over the footbridge, taking pictures of the falls, and on the other side an old man with white hair greeted me by waving. I called out how lovely it was, and he smiled and we introduced ourselves, shaking hands. He was very personable, telling me he lived in the lovely white house on the hillside all by himself. He told me his name was "Al."
Al showed pride of place, telling me he took care of his lovely property all by himself, and that it was a 7 day-a-week job. He told me of young girls with lots of children who would come to sit on the grass by the river, and that they always cleaned up after themselves. I gazed at the train trestle, the calm waters beneath it. It was an idyllic setting.
I will certainly be calling to make an appointment to look at apartments in the complex. They accept cats. One Bedroom apartments start at $695/mo, which includes heat.
The complex is indeed an old mill, exposed brick walls and high ceilings. I look forward to seeing them.

Yantic falls, known as Indian Leap, was a favorite encampment of the Mohegan Indians. In 1643 Uncas, Sachem of the Mohegans, led his warriors in the famous battle against their rival tribe the Narragansetts. During the battle, the Narragansetts were pursued by the Mohegans. Legend has it that a band of Narragansetts, unfamiliar with the territory, unknowingly reached the high treacherous escarpment of the Falls. The Narragansetts, rather than surrender, attempted to leap the chasm. Unsuccessful, they plunged to their deaths into the abyss below.
The Yantic Falls became the genesis for industrial development in Norwich. Industry and the use of waterpower in this area dates back to the development of a grist mill in the 1600s by John Elderkin. Industrial development continued to grow until the early 1900s. Later industries at the falls included paper making, cotton and nails.
