Today is one of those days when I can't seem to get anything done. Granted, I did things last week, great and physical things, and now I'm "busy" with body repair. I'm just not very good at being still. So I get up from the chair, go outside, and note that my legs, back and neck are still as sore as they were twenty minutes ago. Up and out again, finding some ripe tomatoes in the garden, for a light lunch, and back here. Is this being bored? How many times can I re-load the weather forecast while seeing through the window that it's a glorious day for a hike?
It's dark in the mornings, again. These are also sweat pants over shorts mornings. Garden almost done for the summer, and greenhouse looking tempting. It will soon be the season of slowing down, making a fire and enjoy being indoors. Just not today! Not yet!
End to whining. I'll go to pick up eggs or something.
Happy end of summer for North America!

Summer in the Mojave Desert
It's not as bad as it sounds. It's noon, and it's 100 degrees. But (ha-ha) it IS a dry heat. 6 %. Palm Springs is not so lucky. Not only is it some 15- 20 degrees warmer there, because of the difference in elevation, but they have also messed up the humidity level by adding all their golf courses and other irrigation.
I was entertaining the thought of going to the dump today. That's one of the things I do when I feel the need to get out to see some people ;) Well, it just somehow didn't happen. I went to the garden instead, and talked with my vegetables. The county well guys have access through one of the ranch roads, and I heard the engines just in time to pull up my tube top from my hips, stand up and wave demurely. Yes, I was also wearing shorts. In case you wondered ;)
Hope you have a very nice summer!

Umm.. happy new year?
Nice to drop in here every six months or so.. ;) With the economy being what it is, I'm surprised that I can still afford the spoken/written word. (Yes, we are suffering.)
But I have a concern.. It's not that I really have anything to hide, but it's really starting to spook me that some (if not all - what do I know?) internet giants are tracking who we are and what we do.
Forever. ?
So if I change my religion, birthday, gender, true or false, there's a trail that's following me. I don't like it anymore, if I ever did. I mean, broadcasting my Self to boost my Self.
May I suppose that it's as easy as that we are being tracked so that we can be told what to buy? That'd be OK - I don't buy much.. don't have the urge, or the need for much.
Still, there's a nagging feeling inside of me: Somebody is watching, and taking notes.
If that's all sounding too paranoid, let's just suppose I'd make a lousy celebrity ;)
