06:40:56: For discussions of OATH containing spoilers--http://www.paksworld.com/blog/?p=727 sets up a safety zone.
07:40:34: Barn swallows, bluebonnets, greenery...a wet spring in Texas is a lovely thing. (Dry springs are tragic, as flower buds shrivel.)
17:13:29: I'm supposed to do vocal exercises w/mirror to check on aperture of mouth during various vowels. Torture for old woman w/crooked teeth.
20:45:58: Lots of beautiful red radishes harvested today--need to cut greens again tomorrow.

22:55:43: Editor approved revisions today, then asked about map. Map? One page or two, asked editor. (Need to find master map and get going.)
23:05:46: Saw first dragonflies of season today. All but two flying around madly gobbling up gnats and mosquitoes (yay!) but no photos of those.

"My" Congressman

"My" Congressman (John  Carter) is mine only in that I reside in his district, as otherwise he and I inhabit opposite poles of  political thought.

He thinks George W. was wonderful.  He eagerly supported, and voted for, everything George wanted, and eagerly opposed and voted against, anything George didn't.    He also thinks that sending out mass recorded phone calls during which his voice drones on and on about his "concerns" and why he isn't supporting health care and spouts a lot of...

10:17:03: Weather change brings massive headache. Not wanted.
11:27:41: V. tempting to shorten dose interval when it's like this, from 6 hrs to 4. Not doing it, but...maybe trepanning to reduce pressure inside?
16:14:19: Note to self: don't forget the bread dough in the refrigerator for a whole 7 days...
21:29:07: What happens with bread dough left in fridge too long is...a leetle more fermentation than you really want in bread. Or a lot more. Whew!

Can Haz Train to City...

This week Capitol Metro's new train went "live" with passengers--free rides this week--and today I finally got loose to ride it.    The schedule is designed purely for commuters, so far, the result (in part) of having to share track with freight lines (notoriously hostile to passenger trains of any type.)    This means if I ride it in, I have to get up really early, and then stay in the city until the afternoon trains run north again, but...it saves me 3 gallons of gas (at least) on every...

07:46:27: OATH has been spotted sunbathing on beach and lounging under olive tree, pix at http://www.paksworld.com/blog/ Spotters welcome.
12:45:50: Last night's T-storms became today's clear sky & boisterous winds. Harvested first leaf lettuce & radishes (tiny, <mouthful, tasty.)
21:44:59: So, OATH has shown up in another location, this time gazing at its own website.
