cold

It's not quite cold, but almost.

Season's changing!

I finally got around to resetting the furnace to my schedule. Since we don't need it to be warm at 4:30 in the morning anymore. I just set the whole thing down as low as I can feature, and then I figure if I want to be warm I'll wrap up or bump the heater temporarily.

Also, I ordered two built-in folding drying racks, one which I will put inside and the other I will put outside, and a black walnut cracker. It was down to two models, and I just kind of took the one that seemed more focussed on hard nuts. I really couldnt tell which is better.

Also I pulled all of the videotapes out of the bookshelf and put them in a box. I think they're all going to go away. Except I'm keeping "Me and the Colonel" and "Watch on the Rhine."

Next the DVDs.

Emma, you have been notified.

I know it's heading toward fall, Spirit is turning gray! She turns brown in the warm and gray in the cold.

A seasonal housecat!

Truffle turns grayer and darker but I haven't been able to detect a pattern.

Spirit's mom was a Siamese and they tend to have their colors intensify in warm weather. She has her ears, paws, and tail in chestnut from her mom all the time, but her body fur changes with the seasons.

You have Watch on the Rhine! That's my favorite Lillian Hellman, and the movie with Bette Davis is very good (not quite as good as the mind's eye play, but good anyway). The kids in the play are wonderful. They are a bit more subdued in the movie.

I need to get this too....

Love, Katie

I had to have it, because of the way whatshisname talked to his children about the things he did. Something to the order of, what I did was not good: it';s never good to kill a man. But what would have happened if I had not killed him would have been worse . . .

that's where I got the idea of least-worst, in situations where there is nothing good you can do. Also I admired his strength in not rarionalizing his responsibilities away.

Yes, it really matters to understand the complexities of resistance and complicity like this. And the force of accountability. Or many accountabilities.

How unlike the war on terror....
