Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry about Jeeves, Anne.

Good luck with the horehound and lemon balm, gardeners. I don't know from hore hound, but lemon balm is tough.

I went on a farm tour with amyth and a couple of other friends. We got to feed baby goats! Totally worth rambling around in intermittent showers. I also bought a couple of duck eggs, which I'd never had before. I poached one for dinner and served it on sour dough toast and lightly steamed spinach. It was delicious.

Anne, the renovation is lovely! It's a very beachy room.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

baby goats!!!!

If anyone has not watched the PBS documentary on the Central Park Five, I highly recommend it. There are only three days left, because it is Ken Burns (although it is not very Ken Burns-y, probably because his daughter wrote it) I have just been reading "Our Boys" [link] which is a look at how and why white suburban "jocks" were protected after they gang raped a mentally challenged girl. What a contrast!

Those are violas, sarameg. They're related to pansies, but smaller.

We always called them "johnny jump ups"!

OK, knew they were a common variety, just couldn't remember what. I don't think I planted them last year (though I like them a lot) but can't be sure.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I allow them to every day, but generally hang my towel(s) on the shower rod for re-use if it's just a 2 or 3 day stay.

I never allow them in every day. Maybe every 2 days, if I am staying by myself.
