Back to work – but it’s a short week this go ’round.

Newtcam and Pyecam may be a bit messy for the next couple of days as the house gets put back in order. Or maybe not… the images are a bit outside the primary shuffle-zones.

Hits on the side links for both have been down lately – I wonder why? They’ve been mighty cute recently and viewings is still pretty high, but nobody wants to go through the ads. I can understand that. I’m just surprised that there aren’t more things interesting to folks on the sidebar. I should probably add more text at the bottom to mix the feed up a bit.

In-laws came over for pizza and the 2nd half of astronaut farmer – movie didn’t do much for me, but I didn’t totally hate it either. BHK was about the same, I think.

I keep thinking of Winston Churchill’s quotation, made in a radio broadcast in October 1939:

“I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.”

Just the “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma” part.

Nutmeg J Salmonella – the little box turtle that lives in our back yard, near the vegetable garden. Nutmeg – named for a turtle I had as a Kid in Delray Beach (named nutmeg, because that was the name on the pen we had for him to live in – prior resident was a brown rabbit of the same name.) Salmonella – well, because he’s a turtle nothing personal, I assure you, dear journal. I love his shell-patterns.. remind me of raccoon footprints. J, because it’s standard procedure to give J as the middle initial, isn’t it?

We also have a multitude of tadpoles living right next to our bedside window – there’s a drainage ditch filled with water that gets just the right amount of sun. I hope all the little froggies are viable, and take care of the mosquitoes that have been appearing since summer hit. They can leave the lightning bugs alone if possible, too.
