Waxing Crescent of the Dark Moon
The October financial storm gathered under the Blood Moon. Obama’s election comes during a waxing Dark Moon. Just interesting is all I’m saying.
The red car in the Sandhills of Nebraska.
Picked up the red car from its most recent series of procedures. This time it got new front constant velocity boots. They protect the main bearing from wear caused by road debris. Two new aluminum wheels should solve the slow leak problem the back tires have experienced. Various bulbs and other smaller matters–oil change, too–thrown in for the trip. Each visit it comes closer and closer to Theseus’s ship.
Kate continues to suffer with her cervical vertebrae pinching a nerve. She’s so stoic, so careful. Right now she’s stopped taking the prednisone which helped because she wants the imaging studies to be unaffected. She can’t find a way to position herself that doesn’t hurt. Like hell.
Got tools for protecting the trees in our new orchard. Later today or tomorrow I’ll install them and begin to put down the black plastic and straw to kill weeds along the forest’s edge. Much cooler weather now, but it is still a good time to do this kind of work.
This week will be the last for working outside for a while. I’m ready to hunker down and get some reading and writing done.
