Well, foo. The tomato piece for Marek and Jackson just washed up on the rocks. In order to get it going again I'm going to have to haul it off and and turn it in an entirely different direction.
Meanwhile: all of a sudden the acacia trees on Highway One are in full bloom. Last week I saw very beginning buds, that's all. Also in bloom: manzanita and almond.
I heard Ann Richards on "Democracy Now" and Molly Ivins too, and it was really nice to be reminded of that other kind of Texas speech. My early years were in this sort of mixed-up working class suburb near the Nike missile base past Richmond, California, and there were a lot of folks there who had migrated in from Texas and Oklahoma during the Depression and World War Two, mostly the latter. So those accents are comfortable to me.
I think I've figured out that excess salt makes me stupid.
