Another irrigating opportunity

The flycatchers have been enjoying the run of irrigation water into the cow pasture the last few days too. It's been a good chance for me to get some pictures of these colorful little birds.

I'm still still at it

The last couple of days I've been reformatting this site to center on a wide browser window. I'm not done yet so you may continue to see some strange behavior here from time to time.

This morning I was lying abed listening to a podcast and idly surfing the web with the new-to-me Opera Mini browser app on my iPod Touch. What a great piece of work this thing is. It makes this site quite surfable on the small iPod Touch screen, one of my goals with the redesign here. If you use a mobile device, give the Opera Mini a trial run.

Was Love Then

Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
