Good afternoon. The weather turned California hot with a vengeance this weekend. The tomato plants (yes, the very ones Bunny wouldn't allow to be planted until I was done with school) are in the ground, but not loving life. We'll have to remember to water them faithfully. If the sun doesn't get them, and Daisy doesn't dig them up, and the slugs don't eat them, we might have fruit this summer!
We visited the library this afternoon. In spite Sacramento's very lean library budget, they make it a point to have the main open on Sundays, and boy is it popular. I got a translation of The Art of War(fare), and also Huckleberry Finn, because believe it or not, I never read it before. Idoru will have to wait, because it turns out it's a later book in a series - I have to look for Count Zero to start.
What does it mean when I get very excited to find that the main library has stacks and stacks of city environmental impact reports and county zoning reports? It means this silly school stuff is sinking in, that's what. No, actually, to be fair, I was like this before - now I have an outlet, that's all.
BB is visiting a few friends, so Bunny and I are off to the pool. I have something I want to talk to you about more fully later, but for now maybe you can just ponder this:
Have you ever seen a blog that is designed to teach a craft to its readers on a post-by-post basis? Not an informational blog, with regular updates about a field of study, but discreet, sequential lessons.
If you know of a blog like that, please share the URL with me. I'm thinking of starting one this summer, and I want to see how other people do it, if it's being done at all.
Tomatoes don't enjoy life very much as it is...Would you if the summa of your life consisted of either 1) being made into ketchup; 2)being made into pasta sauce; 3) being hurled at politicians; or 4)being innundated by Thousand Islands dressing on a salad to kill the taste of tomatoes..?
Compared to tomatoes, broccoli and squash are living la vida loca!
