It's been five days since I opened the dome. I am afraid of what I might find in there. The local cats had a feast last time. I think I'm going to wait till after Christmas. Assuming they are all dead next time I guess the cats will have another feast. I will pump out the pool and buy a few hundred feeder goldfish to raise and put in my fiberglass tanks next year. The weather here is so much colder in the mornings than in Bakersfield or LA. I started to take off the dome today but as soon as I stepped off the sidewalk my foot sank in the mud from all the rain we've been having. It's a real mess out there. At least it's warm.
