test of love


as a test of love today, i retrieved circus peanuts and left them in a room with tasha. i wanted to see whether she thought they were food or not. thankful, not a single peanut had even been licked. she's cool in my book.

the squirrel report


tasha has never seen squirrels. everywhere we go, she stops to point out their wacky antics.

this week, the squirrels:
* gathered nuts, seeds and leaves from minnesotan's yards
* jumped from tree branch to tree branch
* climbed into holes on the trees
* looked generally cute

this has been a squirrel report

senility


senility: climbing on the roof with your step ladder to search the gutters for what i can only assume are pennies. they used to buy quite a lot... now you'll be lucky to find a tootsie roll.

what killed this blog



what killed this blog?

the beautiful indian summer we've been having.... that ends the day tasha gets here.

and work. who wants to come home and blog after a day of sitting in front of the computer.

the CIA... just like kennedy...

straw



some people (in this straw shaped photo) haven't learned how to use straws good.

bus + bookshelf

i took a bookshelf on the bus and caused quite a stir on a normally quiet route.

* one man (autistic?) asked what it was...
- a bookshelf
* why aren't there any books on it?
- i was going to ask you to go pick them up for me.
* i... i... i don't leave the bus with strangers at night


* another man asked if i was going to sand it down (no).


* another said they don't make them like that anymore (it's solid wood--not laminate). then he told me about a solid wood something or other he owns.


as i entered the bus, i didn't make any eye contact with the driver until i was fully in the bus. i didn't want him telling me bookshelves weren't allowed

budget hero


i'm on mpr's webpage and played their balance the budget game. from the game, i was able to post this. curious to see what it looks like on my blog.
