Critters ‘n Gasoline n’ Other Stuff
We spent Father’s Day weekend with John’s parents. It was a nice weekend; pretty hot though. When we got back, my Gas Price Barameter (a family-owned non-branded service station), who had held their ground at $3.99 for weeks while every other station in town hit $4+, had hit $4.03 for a gallon of regular unleaded.

Off They Go…
John and his friend Phil left, this morning, on a week-long tour of the South via motorcycle. So it’s just me, three cats, and an empty house this week. There are a million things I could be … should be … doing, but I have no clue where to start. *sigh* I think this is [...]

I’ve been catching up on laundry today and got some grocery shopping done as well. UPS dropped off my spiffy new iPod yesterday while I was at work. When we built this computer last year, we [...]
Monster Squash
When I left for Orlando on Tuesday morning (very early Tuesday morning), I had a couple of tiny zucchini starting to form. I also had 17 baby tomatoes. When I got back this afternoon, I was greeted by these monsters. In order to keep squash plants producing, you’re supposed to pick them [...]
