Saturday Snippets

It's a muggy, cloudy Saturday a Casa Machina. Because of the recent weather, I have yet to ride my bike since I was given the go-ahead. OTOH, my tomatoes are growing like crazy, and I noticed that a few are starting to turn red. Yippee!

I have spent the day alternating between playing a computer game (Birth of the Federation), reading in the back room with the A/C on full, and working down in the basement. Yup, that's right, I said working. Life seems to finally be returning to normal. Here's what's been going on...

( Water down below... )

( Haven't heard about the bookcases lately, have you... )

( Kavalier and Clay... )

( Tolkein does heavy metal... )

( Spaceshot... )

One more mark against the weather. The Perseids meteor shower is this weekend, but alas I cannot see them. Last year was a ball.
