Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Congrats, Debet!
They're chopping up two giant trees next door, that provided near total shade for the house, being on the west side of the house and being full and strong and leafy. The woman said, "I don't want to spend the next 20 years raking. And I'm afraid they'll fall on the house." She's going to put awning on the windows. Her entire roof is now exposed to the full western sun just in time for summer. If we could have magically transferred those trees to our front yard, we'd have done it in a heart beat.
I would hate to lose the (year round sheddy, but it smells nice!) linden out front. It really makes my east-facing bedroom lovely in the summer. It is old and not looking as good as in years past, which worries me. If it dies, I'd seriously look at paying $$ for more than a sapling to replace it (though that's complicated- tree is and is on city property. And the sewer and water lines go under there, so. Complicated.)
Congratulations, One True Doctor Esse!
Barbara Walter's interview with the woman Don Sterling was talking to during the infamous racist rant was the strangest interview I've seen that did not involve Johnny Depp.
yay Debetesse!
Yay Debet. That's a lot of work and time your put in. Wonderful.
Just got in from standing in our backyard in my pajamas, helping Jason wash the skunk off of one of our dogs. We all three got soaked. Chet, who's a big disheveled labradoodle, broke free of his collar on his evening walk and ran like a bat out of hell into a side yard of a house down the street. Before Jason could get to him, he ran back out of the shadows and threw himself down on the grass and began rubbing his face in the grass. Poor guy. he was very good during his unexpected nighttime bath. That'll teach him to mess with skunks--except he's a dog, so, you know, it won't at all. We don't think we got it all, so hopefully it's off to the groomer tomorrow.
I'm in nice dry jammies and am in bed.
It would be nice if Chet learned, but we know it doesn't work that way. I hope the aroma improves quickly.
Poor old Chet. And poor you guys, dealing with skunk!
Woke up early, so maybe I should get up and at em. Bleh.
