I’ve decided to create a category for my own day to day thoughts about whatever. It will be sort of a diary – more personal and immediate than most of the stuff I focus on here, which is fairly bleak. Hopefully, this may level things out a bit and give it a more personal aspect.
Today’s been a good day though a hot one for the U.S. Pacific Northwest where we live. I started the day off at 7 AM at Starbucks with a latte and a good conversation about politics, unions, the environment and musings on the subject of ‘what can we ever really know about what goes on in high political circles?’ The idea being that by the time information gets down to we common folks, so many spin doctors have adjusted it – it’s hard to have any idea what really happened.
I spent the morning wandering about in this blog’s PHP code noodling out how to modify this and that. Mixed PHP and HTML is messy and the logic embedded within it is hard to ‘see’. I spent a lot of time rearranging code to see if I could take advantage of the code’s indifference to white-space to make it more intuitive and readable – but with mixed success.
Business was good here at the Nursery today. Folks came out in spite of the heat. Sales continue to be better than last year’s. We’re going to go out in a few minutes and get a salad someplace indoors where it is cool. Later, when we come back, I’m going to go out and do some spraying in the cool of the evening. Weeds need love to – and I’m going to help them out – at least the ones who are so unwise as to encroach on my fields .
