Had to drop everything in the middle of the afternoon to deal with a security breach in the garden! Lost some Swiss chard, cabbage and a couple onion sprouts, but blessedly less than I would have expected. Wifey and I reinforced the mesh and the netting, and even picked some of the spinach that did not get molested, which I am steaming as I type this. Made a couple much needed vodka tonics afterward, with a bowl of Mac Baren Virginia Flake in a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bulldog. Wifey joined with a cigarillo. Just that kind of day, I guess! 9/10
Bird report: House finch, California towhee, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay, American crow, Red-tailed hawk, Mountain chickadee, Western bluebird, Northern flicker, White-breasted nuthatch, Dark-eyed junco, Spotted towhee, Anna's hummingbird, California quail, Hairy woodpecker, Oak titmouse, and Violet-green swallow. Full cast for a full day.
Looking forward to a nice long rest this weekend, to be interrupted by seeing all you lowly ne'er-do-wells at the pipe zoom on Sunday.
@infectedpsyche Congrats on the anniversary! Remember not to make any of those fancy bets in the center of the crap table, no matter what anyone tells you.
