Charity Alert: A new project, very worthy -- The Literacy Site -- Books given away!
Weather: The inversion broke yesterday about noon. Fresh air is so fine! The roof is 99 percent complete too.
Wildlife: I have to put deer fencing up -- part of my Aspen tree was stripped by marauding deer.
Media Watch: Monday Night Football -- Philadelphia's a good team -- they'll be ready for Pittsburgh if and when they meet them again.
The "Desperate Housewives" opening at the start was in bad taste, though. It could have been funny, but it wasn't written well enough -- deadpan delivery might have worked too, but it wasn't quite deadpan enough. Actress Nicolette Sheridan is a nice-looking woman, however!

Destiny's Child was featured in a video-intro to the second half (also half-baked and tentative). Their song was definitely influenced by "Bollywood" music -- similar to Britney's Toxic earlier this year.

Wildlife: California Blue Jays haunting the bird feeder -- looking for peanuts. The Stellar's Jays and Magpies enjoy the feast too. We are attracting Flickers and other woodpeckers with our suet cage hanging in the chokecherry tree.
Charity Alert: The Rain Forest Site
Weather: This low gray cold mist has darkened our skies all week! The new roof is finally going on alright, but this all-day lightlessness is depressing.
Media Watch: I've had VH1 Classic for awhile, but haven't noticed. I checked out the Rolling Stones' It's Only Rock and Roll video -- quite a lovely mess with that out-of-control foam near the end. VH1's final Surreal Life for this autumn was worth a look while washing dishes during halftime -- Brigitte Nielson's exhibitionist antics definitely dominated THAT series. (Charo, from her stage show in San Diego: "I hate her -- she has bigger tits than me!") VH1's Surreal Life Page
NFL football was fun -- two well-fought games in the afternoon, and a clinic by New England Sunday night (see VH1 above).
I read two C. J. Cherryh novels from the Fading Sun series back to back -- drawn-out and slogging, with unfortunate debts to Herbert's interminable Dune saga. I'm glad to say she's done better work than this. C. J. Cherryh's Official Pages
