Santa Claus Melon Season!

6.6.10
At Whole Foods today - as I went to get some hunk of water melon - saw them! Yeah! It's a too short season, but that could make me appreciate them more. Also, got some of the local strawbs - and they are amazingly flavorful. Wonderful! Ym.

Crazy Smart Geese - Observation #2

June 4, 2010 (about 20 minutes later, still on the way home - still from my phone)

well, friend - I would be very very afraid if geese hate you. Be very careful. I'm now working on assumptions that they are smart and have a way of communicating with each other - and of sharing observations. I have a new "smart geese" observation, from my ride home.

I was near the prison (near the Garden - sorta between Spaulding Rehab and the Museum of Science Bridge) - on the road by the Charles there. That's where I was during the worst of the power storm. During the burst of lightening strikes -nearby- the flurry of movement from a few geese caught my eye - and I wondered if maybe one had been hit. When traffic crawled a bit further on - I looked around the park that's there - for geese. First, I saw none (the few had been jumping around under the trees) - then I saw a whole whole lot. they had moved off the grass onto the paved paths - none were now under the trees - and there were so many there now - I'm guessing they had all leaped out of the river onto the land.

Maybe if you started worshiping them as gods?

Crazy Geese - Observation 1

June 4, 2010 (Original Date - sent as email - yes, from my phone)
Just watched 3 geese take advantage of one red light to "jay walk"
across a 3 street-intersection at the Landmark intersection. The intersection was majorly congested as an afternoon Sox game had just let out. They crossed just the same as college kids. Crazy.
