Ordinarily I only drop by here on Wednesdays but as I expect to be otheriwse occupied this week I'm throwing some stuff in my Scraps section ahead of time.

Weather keeps cycling from cold to muggy, though little rain is happening; the city is already in the process of taking down hundred of dead trees in its parks, as if we need this additional expense. I'm crossing my fingers for the trees here in my yard, especially the big Ash in front - I recently found an extensive rotten section that I cleared out and filled with roofing tar.
