Update - Fall 2005

Fri, 11 Nov 2005, 17:49

Well, I haven't been blogging much lately. While I was stuck at home waiting for lithotripsy, I did make frequent entries to the Sudoku blog, but nothing much apart from that. These days, though, there's lots going on. In federal politics, the opposition leaders are itching for an election. But as usual, like some strange mating ritual, none of them want to be seen as the one pulling the trigger. In the area of religion, there are interesting developments in Dover, Pennsylvania, and in the state of Kansas. All of these things are worthy of comment.

Closer to home, we're doing what has to be done every Fall. I just spent a couple of hours raking and mulching leaves. Being low on leaf mulch, I filled eight clear plastic bags, and put them in our back yard to decompose further. Most others put their leaves out on the street to be collected and composted by the city.

Dealing with the fallen leaves is just one of the drawbacks of living in a neighborhood with so many trees. But that's a small price to pay.
