Wot a day!

I spent most of it reading in the swing and rocker in the back yard avoiding the warm, waning sun reading Green Mars. The weather is warm and wonderful. The book is good, and Geri has a hugo.

I did run the mower over the two postage stamps of green grass, geen again after the rains. There's a load of sheets in the washer that need shifting, 2-4D to mix and spray, and a garage wall in need of oil.

My new gas gauge is working and the top is down.
