9316 – Friday the 13th

Happy Birthday to Ldy, my littler big sis! she’s …what, 5 again this year?

I *still* have “froggy went a-coutrin’, he did ride” in my head.

I must’ve done something dreadfully bad to deserve this. Great… now I have pet shop boys in my head.

“What have I done? What have I done? What have I done to deserve this?”

Looking forward to a weekend without feeling too ill.

Artomatic. Book Sale. Father’s Day. Hive. Music by the beach? Gardening? Relaxing? A ride on the Trolley, maybe?

Am I forgetting something?

Maybe our Swarm of the Snakehead screener will arrive in time for a weekend viewing! (Writer Seth Hurwitz spotted my mention of it in my journal, and was kind enough to shoot us a review copy!)

BHK made a big salad from stuff at the farmers market – lots of yummy breads and other goodies, too. (Blueberry sun tea, some onion spread for the bread… it’s just all very delicious) – our neighbor went early, and brought her some corn and strawberries, too.

Tons of fireflies out tonight! That made it feel especially summery.

After supper, we watched “I now pronounce you chuck and larry” – it was what I expected, cute.



Random Newtcam / Pyecam archive shots – (They shoudl really be called Officecam and loftcam, since both boys go on both cams all the time.)

note the windows – most ~ at 10pm, but lightning kept striking nearby.

additional kitty pictures added for archival purposes. first is another leap shot.

BHK got me a 2 new bathing suits – long-knee Hawaiian-style jams, one in blue print, the other red. I have never before owned more than one bathing suit… This is what marriage does to a fellow.

I can dig it.

Bare Food Cupboards More Common in So. Md. – Southern Maryland Headline News

Most surprising and saddening to me was the following –

Brenda DiCarlo of the Southern Maryland Food Bank said she has noticed people making between $30,000 and $50,000 a year having to rely on grocery assistance from their local food pantries. Her statistics show the number of families seeking assistance has topped 10,000 this year, and that is only for the pantries she supplies.

“There’s been a huge increase…our pantries have had a 40 percent increase in new families needing food, and a 50 percent increase for returning families…there just isn’t enough money to put gas in the car and keep the lights on…a lot of people now just can’t make ends meet.”

DiCarlo’s first recommendation to people is that they call the Department of Social Services. Those who do not qualify for food stamps can still get a complete listing of pantries and programs in their area.



Blogging – It’s Good for You. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients, and even speeds healing after surgery. (I’m a little doubtful, but the numbers are there, at the moment.)
