And there was a mushroom museum, although I understand it's closed. Or maybe just gone underground.
Would, actually, be useful - at one point there were four people in one local hospital with mushroom poisoning. One bright soul went out and picked the mushrooms growing in his yard ... seemingly didn't check to see if they were safe to eat. Guess he figured if they were growing in his yard, they were edible. I think he recovered, so he won't be a candidate for the Darwin Awards.
A friend has generously offered to shoot and edit a Kickstart video for me if I write the script. It is to finance the graphics book on global warming I am writing that will supplement the academic version about to be published. If anyone feels like posting some links to some kickass Kickstart videos that were successful, especially ones for books, that would be generous (I did see the one Jilli starred in.) Also tips on doing a good Kickstart beyond what one can get from the Kickstart site would be also wonderful. I think others might be interested, but if you prefer my profile addy is good.
In case you wondered, there IS an app for that.
Oh, goodness -- it was a Benadryl on top of Claritin day for me, being outdoors all day and surrounded by dust for the last couple of days AND it only tipped over into 60 degrees about the half hour of the sale.
I think I made about $25 today, but probably will get more traffic tomorrow.
So I came inside and lay down in bed to get warm...and feel asleep! I took an honest-to-god nap.
And Jilli, your package came today! SQUEE!!! Yes, I'm so excited! And I will hand out the postcards at the event!!
Thank you!!
Anyone want a 6yo boy? I think I may craigslist him along with our furniture.

Me! Me! I'll take that cutiehead.
Raq I'll trade you for a 15.5 yo. He does chores but he's also 15.5 years old...
Not trading!
But made stir-fry after my nap and a LOOONNNGGG, very hot shower, and then sat my tired ass on couch and painted my toes and nails and watched a movie with Dan. Feel much more human.
And now I'm going to read a magazine, drink a couple of glasses of wine, and crawl into bed by midnight.
We went to Cardiff yesterday! We couldn't get super close to the Torchwood entrance because they were setting up for a big Rugby match, but we did get nearish it. Interesting fact, if you ask random construction workers in Cardiff where the Torchwood entrance is, they know exactly what you are talking about.

The obvious question being : what did he do to the furniture?
(ditto on the time stamp GRONK. Flying back today. Would appreciate any spare make-your-plane~ma around 4pm as I have to switch gates/buildings at Logan.)
