Musings

Toothsome fruitiness

On today’s grocery expedition, we found autumnal antioxidants, the red and blue flavors. I was particularly excited by the early cranberries, early meaning before T-giving week.

All about timing

I’m all goofed up by the time change. I reset three clocks that are manual; more await, including in both vehicles.

Today was not this sunny.

Jus’ sayin’

All of us who cycled through schoolyards when we were, say, six years old, learned that anyone who offered a deal that went like: if you do what I want first, afterward I’ll do what you want…would not follow through on the second part. Guaranteed. N-e-v-e-r happened.

Fly in a bee costume?

Such a sunny afternoon!…perfect for a slightly longer walk than normal.

Two cranes, one dome

We had an errand downtown, and the sun almost came out to light up Georgia’s capital dome.

Murky again

We had rain all day, but it’s finally stopped. I haven’t seen the figures on how much these several days of on-off precip have reduced our drought.

Am I ready for the Marvel Universe?

Call me Madam Pincushion. Yesterday, I got a flu shot. Today, I got two more: Covid and RSV.

Truth: I skipped the pneumonia shot…I’ll talk to the Doc first.

What else to do on rainy days in the autumn?

Drizzle vs dry

We got rain off and on all day—mostly drippy rain, the kind that soaks in nicely…which is great because in this area we have a serious deficit that needs remedying.

I include this picture of the Guggenheim museum from last winter, the one in Bilbao. This is day two of our visit, when we walked around outdoors on a gorgeous sunny day. Day one was rainy, and so we went in the museum and looked out rain-streaked windows and soaked in artsiness.

Agitated weather

I heard that much of Jamaica is to get 40 inches of rain. That will be prodigious and horrible. Here, we are expecting spotty rain and some breeziness—a veritable cakewalk in comparison.

Not sawdust (heh)

Sometimes I feel like dust stalks me. Also, I just read there’s something called fugitive dust. This, on the other hand, is right out in plain sight.
