Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Joe Niekro, one of the best knuckleball pitchers of all time (though not as good as his brother Phil) taught a young neighbor how to throw the knuckler before he died.

That is awesome. (And I'm still annoyed about the time when I was in eleventh grade and we had to write a paper explaining the physics behind some everyday thing, and I wrote a great paper explaining how curve balls and knuckle balls work, and the teacher took points off for each place that I wrote "knuckle ball," because he said it should be hyphenated.)

After work today I went and bought a garden cart (smaller, plastic, slightly more stable version of a wheelbarrow) I moved three carts of dirt from big pile o dirt to garden bed. Transplanted some strawberries into pots and manage to split the ass in my pants.

I also sawed some boards to start making raised beds. I learned measuring twice before you cut is useless if you can't saw straight. Close enough for a little raised bed, I hope.

Tomorrow I hope to put boards together. Put first one in place and start filling with dirt.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Did you by any chance buy this cart? [link]

We have an actual wheelbarrow, but I use this almost all the time. It's really light and great for moving bags of soil or branch clippings or whatever.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My sistah in the weeds. It's dry and dusty out here.

achoo. I'm starting to forget what a love life is like. Except for the misery. Haven't forgot that part.

Same here. Well, not so much misery as boredom. While I miss sex, I'm finding myself having an enjoyable life without an SO. So part of me is kinda reluctant to consider changing things.

Then I see a hottie jogging down the road or stand behind someone in the grocery store who smells really, really good. And that's when I go, "Oh, yeah. Dating. There was a reason I tried that."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Calli, I could have just written that entire post. I so am Right There.

No, that looks awesome though! I just got a cheap one at Walmart.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think I'll buy that cart! I don't have room to store a wheelbarrow, and that looks like just the right size to tuck into a corner of my patio.

I'm getting the pig!

What Dana said.

DH got to the oven first - to bake fish, which I didn't want - so I have to wait a little longer for dinner.
