Last year, we didn’t get rain until the 17th; by the end of October, we had 3.45". It’ll be interesting to see where we are by Hallowe’en this year…

OTOH, in 2009, rain started on the 10th, and we had 10.68" by the 29th.

Dennis called Thursday afternoon and let us know that real estate agent Schlobotnick, from the Around Here, Somewhere Realty Co. would be by, with clients, on Monday (today), between 11:00a and 1:00p; we should call if there were any conflicts. There were none; we did not.

We’re still waiting… Actually, we’re not waiting, but we still haven’t heard that they’re not going to be able to make it today.

Oh, well.

God’s Ring Fingers, This Book Is Great!

24th DAY OF FEBRUARY, Feast of Saint Matthias, who preached to cannibals

Dennis called on Sunday, and let us know, among other things, that we should be expecting an agent from Los Gatos and her clients on Tuesday, between noon and 1:00p; since Dennis wasn’t feeling at all well, I was nominated to fill in…

Come Tuesday noon, the house was spiffed, Her Majesty en crate, and the vehicles outside the fence. What’s a girl to do? Grab a book, of course. On the side table in the living room was Seumas MacManusThe Story of the Irish Race. I picked up where I’d left off, and pretty soon got lost in all the place names. Hoping against hope, I checked in the library, but no world atlas. OTOH, up one shelf and to the left from where the map sorts of books live are the (generally) Irish/Ireland books, and stuck in there was a little gem (besides that it’s a Newbery Honor Book).

I pulled Catherine, Called Birdy, by Karen Cushman, off the shelf, because it didn’t look familiar, but definitely sounded interesting. Boy, was I ever right this time!!

Catherine, the daughter of a minor knight and his lady wife, is in her thirteenth year, in the year of Our Lord 1290, in England. The book begins thusly:

12th DAY OF SEPTEMBER
I am commanded to write an account of my days: I am bit by fleas and plagued by family. That is all there is to say.

Once I picked myself off the floor and carried on, there was quite a bit more hysterics following. I got quite a bit into the book, as our house viewers didn’t arrive until 1:30 or so, and discovered there was quite a bit more to Birdy’s life than silliness: when she finally gets to witness a hanging in a village, whether her curses actually work, dealing with her mother’s miscarriage, the wedding of the abomination (her brother, Robert)…

As soon as my Dennis impersonation duties were completed, back to Birdy I went, and finished up this evening. Oh my, well worth the effort! And I do wonder how she made out once she left home.

I can only hope that Saint Matthias had a fork with him…

Once Upon a Time, There Were 10… *

Docking pastry came up on the FOODWINE list this morning. What?? you might ask? That’s what I said. One of the nice gentlemen replied with this (Thanks, Stuart!):

A French guy, a British guy, and a New Yorker are walking through a jungle when, all of a sudden, cannibals appear and take them prisoner.

They are carried to the village and put before the chieftain. He says that they are all going to be skinned and their skins used to make canoes. He also tells them that they will have one last wish.

The French guy goes first and wished for a hand gun so he can shoot himself so he doesn't have to feel the pain of being skinned. The wish is granted, he shouts “Pour France!”, and shoots himself.

The British guy wishes for a sword so he can stab himself before being skinned. The wish is also granted. He shouts “God save the Queen!” and kills himself.

The guy from New York wishes for a fork. All the cannibals are puzzled but the chief grants the wish anyways. So the guy takes the fork, starts stabbing himself, and shouts “Here’s your %$#@ing canoe!!”

“Historic” February Rain Numbers

At Rosemary’s yesterday, the subject of how we were doing this year, rain-wise, came up (given the spectacular noise the rain was making at the time); the consensus decided we were a bit behind:

16 February 2011 - 29.13"
17 February 2010 - 35.02"
16 February 2009 - 24.80"
19 February 2008 - 33.39" (that’s actually Boulder-Creek.com’s number; the weather station had been misbehaving…)
16 February 2007 - not keeping numbers (working in Indy…)
16 February 2006 - blogging other stuff (no clue why there’re no rain numbers…)
16 February 2005 - blogging other stuff (no clue why there’re no rain numbers…)
16 February 2004 - 30.94"

It’s Santa Cruz County…

…so you know who it’s all about (and that slot is marked “No Parking”)…



I snapped this on my way into the Keg this morning, between St Michael and St John, after having parked two spaces down. By the time I got back out (all I did was buy a bottle of Dr Pepper!), some genius had parked next to the Mustang and yes, *he* was over the line into my slot. Fortunately, there was no one on the other side of me.

Too bad I wasn’t driving the ’Burb (and didn’t have to head to Felton on the double)…
