International Bad Pamela Day; International Bad Saffron Afternoon
Hello; I'm sorry I've been so scarce around here. Some of my journaling energy -- never the most sparkly anyway -- has gone into making myself accountable to my supporters on Patreon; some has gone into Twitter. But neither of those is really here. Hence, for the moment, two anecdotes:

The Great Furniture Swap
Oooof. I did not do any heavy lifting. I did move a bunch of light stuff out of the cat-sitting room upstairs, move a large armchair out of the way, move canisters of cat food and a hummingbird feeder in a box and a couple of wastebaskest out of the way as well. Raphael had already moved the box fan and the tick bags (bags containing clothing we ( Read more... ) -
Update on the furniture situation
David posted details to Natter yesterday, and I doubt anybody who's likely to be able to help will see this but not that. However, last I heard the stuff was probably arriving from Northfield in the vague neighborhood of 3 p.m. If you want to help move some sofas and a buffet, plus a few light pieces, email David so he can keep you apprised of the ( Read more... ) -

In our previous episode, I asked if anybody was available to help move furniture on Thursday, September 28th. However, the arrangements on the other end to get the furniture here have gone awry, so we'll be putting everything off for a few days ( Read more... ) -

This is a long shot, but I thought it couldn't hurt.

A late summer afternoon at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge
This is very long and detailed, so I’m going to try to put in a cut tag.
All right, I can't get that to work, not if it was ever so. I'm sorry.
On Tuesday Raphael and I went to Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. The forecast was for a sunny, almost windless day with a high of 87. The air quality was moderate. I complained about this the day ( Read more... ) -
A moment of self-promotion
Hi, you guys. I put up a public Patreon post yesterday intended to lure in new supporters. The main lure is that I promised to let supporters see early chapters of Going North in November, by which time I'd be confident that said chapters would not be undergoing any more radical alteration.
I really dislike doing this. I feel terrible when I can't ( Read more... ) -
One ordinary day with snapping turtles
Trying to catch up with hiking posts before I forget everything. We try to hike every week but have missed a number of weeks because of the weather. But here's another one we managed ( Read more... ) -
