Catch Breath

Amazing, how doing so little can take up so much time.

When I went for a walk this afternoon, I saw kids playing basketball in shorts and t-shirts. How do they do that in this weather? How do they find the time to do it at all?

Are there no chores?

Are there no prisons?

Are there no workhouses?

And, in various front yards, I have seen a new Christmas oddity. It is a white spiral of what is probably some sort of plastic, shaped into a tree-like cone, lined with blinking lights, with a lit star at the top. The latest seasonal lawn ornament, it seems. I guess some people love the holidays because it gives them the chance to display astonishing things in their yards. Well.

Well.

Well....

About the same shape, but larger (about 5' tall) and just a long, spiraling coil of white, studded with tiny light bulbs. I find them disconcerting, like those aluminum Christmas trees some people have.

Get some pictures. :)

I've been thinking that I might buy one of those disposable cameras (since I'm pretty sure my old Olympus is defunct) and have the pictures developed by one of those companies which will post them to the web (since I don't have a scanner.) I don't know what the quality of the pictures would be, or how small they would be, but it seems unlikely that I'll be getting a better way to put pictures on the web any time soon.
