Musings
Hello, September

I’m trying to decide if this prismatic display has an autumnal twinge.
Mixed ambience

This was where my brain was late this afternoon…bright enough light to see, yet an unfocused fogginess prevailed.
CYDs arrive

We have new technology around here—a two-pack. The other side is a 2.8″ touch screen. They’re called cheap yellow devices. It’s a little less poetic than the name of the last new small techno-item, a raspberry pi.
Parens, plus

My latest food tweaks: adding walnuts (typically with yoghurt at lunch) and beets (here canned and added to salad). BTW, that dark yumminess is glaze made from balsamic must (vinegar is a good dietary component, also).
Plod-slog confession

Here’s the closest I came today to being inventive and artistic. I admit I had to use an app to create it.
Satisfying day
Tuesday, 11 August 2026
We ticked off two big chores today, both before 12:45, after which we exhaled (you know the feeling) and more-or-less coasted. All good.
Moving day

Somebody knows we’re leaving, and his new perch is going with us….
Just after I took this bee picture, and smiling, friendly older fellow in a dashing panama who was stretching his legs nearby invited me to do a few samba steps. It may sound like it could have been creepy, but it wasn’t at all. He gave a little bow and a thank you afterwards. I thanked him back.
We crossed a few rivers—this is over the Hudson—
…and passed through many states (New England proportions, not Midwest and Western). Yawn.
Vermont day
