Re-entry

Our firewood arrived one day after we returned from SFo. A cord of pinon and a mixed cord of oak and cedar. Stacked and ready (could that be a dubious film title?). Part of it had to be stacked near the property-line fence, so of course Twist decided it was a perfect climbing structure from which to launch himself next door and visit and neighbor's dog. So my assignment today, Saturday, among other important things, is to lower the height of that particular stack. I think bringing inside a fair amount of it will do the trick, as well as make the house redolent of pinon & cedar even before we light a fire.

I started this post about a week ago. Clearly, re-entry takes up one's time. For instance, we had a fabulous visit from 2 special SFo friends last weekend, and now we are back in the thick of regular existence, if it can be called that. Tonight is Back-to-School Night ---- you all know what that means!! The air has been deliciously cold & crisp in the mornings. And then it can be quite warm during the day. So now we get to shop online for "winter boots!" I have my eye on a few possibilities. Maybe 3 or 4. Could be a long winter.

My driving lesson on Thursday, yesterday, was completely enthralling, as usual. There is room for Nothing Else in my head when I'm driving a horse & cart --- just think about controlling a horse while also maneuvering a vehicle. Nothing automatic about this transmission. Maybe I'll take a photo of where I am next time and post it. Interestingly, my instructor is a pilot for his day job, and he loved my WW1 aviation calendar. When worlds collide. Maybe I should lend him my copy of the book Horses Don't Fly. I'll leave it to you to guess the Venn Diagram of that one.
