A crisp morning, 26 as I went out for the paper, and, if we can believe the meteorologist, the day will end with the temperature in the high 50’s, headed toward 70 or close to it in the remainder of the week.\u00a0 This spring has been so reticent, almost shy, that\u00a0it\u00a0may once again run from its aging parent, winter.\u00a0 I hope not.\u00a0 I’m ready for the joys and tasks, often the same at this time of year, of the growing season.<\/p>\n
This evening I have a Sierra Club gathering at the house, a brief one hour meeting to hear about the legislative agenda and an opportunity to sign a petition.\u00a0 Oh, how the activist has fallen.\u00a0 In my former life I sneered at petitions and resolutions, both tools of liberals to give the appearance of doing something while risking nothing.\u00a0 Now I host gatherings for signing one.\u00a0 My hope is that it will lead to more direct political engagement further on down the line.<\/p>\n
An electrician is here, prepping our electrical service for installation of our Kohler 12W generator.\u00a0 It will run off the natural gas piped to our house by Centerpoint, eliminating the gasoline conundrums (going bad and service stations not working in a power outage) and the necessity of a propane tank.\u00a0 I’m still not sure this is not a sledge hammer for a mosquito, but the first significant outage we have will prove me wrong.\u00a0 Since that could happen any time, I guess the pro-argument is sound, especially since Kate has started making lots of money in her new work at Urgent Care.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
