Foodie Sunday

However, this bottle was not marked “poison,” so Alice ventured to taste it, and, finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast), she very soon finished it off.

I Used to be a King

There has not been a musical interlude here since the Erykah Badu video way back in May. It is time.

It is not a good thing to do stuff half-assed. That goes double for the crazy stuff.

Out of a Little Chaos, Order

Whenever I feel the need to re-attune myself with the cosmic forces at work around me, I clean out my toolbox and arrange it in order again. I spent the mid-afternoon on the patio in the sun doing just that. At one time in another life, I owned far more tools than this, most of which were the flotsam of some particular purpose, purchased ad hoc. What remains constitutes in total a basic toolbox with a few oddities such as a chip puller for work on a computer that looks somewhat like a screwdriver.

Departure of the Wing Man

No word yet, but I am going to be optimistic and assume that Wings touched down safely in Cedar Rapids two or three hours ago. It was a beautiful day for the drive to little Guanajuato International Airport in Leon late this morning. As we drove toward the old train station to pick up the highway beyond to Leon, we drove by the circus that had also completed its run in San Miguel. The Big Top was coming down.

Wings at Mineral de Pozos

Last Thursday, 20 October, Wings and I rode along with Michel to Mineral de Pozos, my favorite place in the world. Mineral de Pozos sitting at 7,500 feet is the old mining town that I have written about innumerable times including here and here and here and here. In addition, the entry that I just posted previous to this one relates to a trip out there that Fred and I took in March of 2010.
