Yesterday we went biking around town to look at yard sales etc. It was a beautiful day though a bit cool and everyone was so friendly. Maybe it's the 3-day weekend or something astrological. Stopped at one fairly scruffy sale. A drunk lady started yelling obscenities at me. It was just her way of being friendly. She gave R some old weird aluminum pot thing and a bunch of purple irises.

After servicing my humanure site in my garden I encountered my nemisis, the woodchuck who along with her progeny and greater clan has been destroying my gardens for the past twelve years or so. I've tried and considered many options but she's still chomping. Anyway she was hanging out on an old woodpile and pretty much let me slowly approach to within about 10 feet while I made clicking and whistling noises. She was kinda raggy looking and had blackflies buzzing all around her. She looked right at me a couple times and had that nobility most animals have. I hope I see her again. Probably won't try any nuclear options like traps, knives or guns on her now.
