When my basement neighbor mentioned he was thinking of going (I'd forgotten it was this weekend) I remembered Bob had just arrived and was thinking it was perfect timing as an intro to your hood! B.neighbor had never been and said he was gonna get a beehive (he's got close cropped hair.) I told him to be sure to bowl for spam.

Spying on other people's grocery carts can be interesting. Today at Whole Foods, the guy at the next register had two huge cartons of rice milk, five coconuts, at least three bunches of bananas, two big containers of maple syrup, two gallons of olive oil, a big bag of lemons, and two pounds of butter. I was so intrigued, and puzzled.

So throwing a party with pina coladas and margaritas. Olive oil was on sale and the butter is for the strawberry shortcakes. Maple syrup is part of a marinade for everything he'll be grilling.

Okay, new-house photo here. Also pictures of the cats.

He was also wearing a tie-dye shirt and had scraggly waist-length hair.

Don't have permission! I'm sarameg on flickr too.

OK, I revise the booze. It's for some sort of hippy cleanse diet.

Well, the lemons and maple syrup work for Master Cleanse. Not sure where the bananas and coconut, olive oil, butter, and rice milk come in, though.

Sorry. I opened up the permissions and also friended you, sarameg.

You've got mega yard there! I'd be cowering in fear. I haven't even coped with my back postcard, just periodically yanking weeds and thinning things out. And I probably won't really plan for it until the new deck goes in because they have to pour for posts.

Hey, Kings is on NBC right now. I don't think I've seen this episode.
