I have two little round slices of ginger in my tea. They float to the top and stare at me in the dim room. I hope the tea is as good for my digestive system as it is for my imagination!
Yesterday evening i walked to the nearby grocery market. I do like this little nearby market, and like the additional walk i can get in going to it. I'd come home a little early, hoping to beat traffic snarls, and set out when it was still light. Still light! It was mid February in Philly when the shift of the day-length would be noticeable: here it is.
I needed cheese and i'd finally done the research to
find a guide to Mexican cheeses. But now they have less Mexican cheeses and more variety (not just the dramatic collection of fetas), and the basic cheeses are less than at the supermarket. So i ended up stretching to try two Mexican cheeses, in fear they might quit selling those, and picked up some blocks of cheddar, monterey jack, and sliced swiss.
I still wanted a couple thousand paces when i got home, so i walked around the pool reading off my phone. It's an agreeable way for me to "exercise" -- i've a richness of opportunities but this one seems to be the one that's sticking.
Christine made dinner and when i came in it was almost ready, but she was puzzling out her cartography lab. Trig calculations! I was surprised how much my mind enjoyed waking that knowledge back up. While eating we watched a video my dad had recommended, the recently screened Nature episode
Raccoon Nation. This episode shares how raccoons are adapting incredibly well to urban environments, and how "urban selection" is probably helping raccoons become smarter. Smarter raccoons.
