Saturday

[nightdog_barks]

Bright sun and cold, 28 degrees. But it is supposed to get above freezing today! Looked in the back yard and saw a chickadee, two purple finches, and some tiny yellow-breasted bird on the feeders.

Have been reading Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire and loving it.

Not sure what's on the agenda today, so have a couple of news articles. For folks who read the recent collaborative fic Roll the Bones, I think this might be one of Colt's long-lost cousins -- man in hospital gown steals fifty bucks, tries to escape on Walmart scooter. Also, guys will stick their dicks in anything. And then not be able to get them out. Heh.

I saw that second story yesterday, and what I thought was funny? Is that this is not the first time they've seen this kind of thing.

In Florida it was usually the, um, intake valves of swimming pool or jacuzzi pumps.

So anyway, I'm home right now, have showered, have gone to bank, and need to motivate self to do the rest of the Stuff on my List. I suppose it's time to put on my shoes and some music.

I loved 'The Botany of Desire' too, and find myself quoting it a lot.
My book club discussed which plant we would feel unable to live without. I voted for wheat, though sugar cane would be a close second! In reality, microscopic aquatic plants that form the bottom of the food chain would probably be most essential.

LJ keeps eating my comments -- gah! The first story definitely reminded me of Colt and Lorna, but ours had a much happier ending. :) Dude must have really pissed her off if she used a skillet AND a table leg!

It's cold but sunny today and the ice on the roads is melting away. Maybe things will be back to normal by tomorrow. The mister and I have ventured out to buy him a pair of shoes and I need to do some cooking in just a bit.
