Can't get focused today. Day looking increasingly threatening. I think it may have finally started to rain. August has been amazingly pleasant, as Augusts go. It got to 90 degrees the other day for the first time since July. I have been enjoying the pool.
Book review: Neighbor law, by Cora Jordan (c2006). Read this fascinating book on my Nook. Actually borrowed it through the Overdrive system at the Vineland Public Library. Chapters on dogs, fences, boundaries and other topics of interest to me. Also learned about things that other people could sue ME for, such as my falling down fence.
Book review: Quite enough of Calvin Trillin : forty years of funny stuff, by Calvin Trillin (c2011). My sister gave me this book for Christmas and I greatly enjoyed it. Short essays and poems, just right for my attention span. The offerings are divided up under topic headings, such as "English and some languages I don't speak". The very first story is called "Chubby" and relates to a story about a collie dog and finding out the real truth about what happened to him later in life. He didn't really "go to the farm". I had a very similar tale about Mandy the lamb so I loved this story, which was really about memory. I also enjoyed the story called "Paper trails" about the difficulties of composing a note to put on your car. As the essays and poems are dated, it serves as a bit of reminder of our history.
