Musings

I saw this fading pot of mums and thought 50–50, 50–50 blooms and dried blooms (with plenty not quite either). Today is a nationwide 50–50, approximately, before the polls closed. After the count, it’ll be no longer 50–50, at least based on the electoral college (almost typed collage 🤣 ).

I am edgy, worried, and tense. My blood pressure must be elevated. I’m going to Think Pink, and hope for increased calm.

I’m so glad that most of our devices are reset automatically. What I worry about is my body. This time 🤣 it was totally unexpected. I slept right to my “usual” wake-up time, which of course was an hour later. This nearly never happens.

We strolled Piedmont Park this morning before the fog cleared. The actual old RR to the right is still in use, as the fancy new path for the BeltLine is not yet officially open, although it looks ready for traffic.

There’s the east lobe of Lake Clara Meer looking all placid and still a tiny bit obscured.

The rest of the day turned out rather weather-normal.

The leaf fall rate really popped up today…with more and more coming down as the day went on. I propose a metric for that….

Is it really the end of October? High of 79°F, of all things. Warm enough to melt squash?

I’m working hard, inside my head, to create a Halloween costume to go with these dragon fruit. Rrrrrr.

Doesn’t this look like it might be a whole universe thinly coating this leaf?

We became Big Consumers today…only for today…and very Apple-y at that. My 4+ year old watch brought $90 for trade-in, which is darned amazing IMHO. Now, I have a brighter screen (yay! aging eyes, you know), and a more durable battery—I’m told.

Photo with new iPhone. Yup.

The wind fought me, and made this three-second exposure a bit blurry, especially on the right. This fits the Sunday pace of life, I think.
