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.

Passing Time in Byzantium

..Byzantium has begun to look suspiciously like my hometown. It has the same people, the same houses, the same goings and comings. But I am a very wise child seeing things very differently. The activities and interests of adults mystify me. They appear senseless. It is like watching the TV with the sound off--and suddenly realizing how ridiculous people actually are.

I expect adults will in turn regard me as ridiculous. Actions people might accept in a child may not seem appropriate in a grandfather. I won't be distressed. I am looking forward to new heroes and new adventures. And if you ask me where I've been I'll say "out"; and if you ask me what I've been doing I'll say "nothing."
