Wag the world

Why, terrorists could be attacking us via our morning newspapers!! Today's Post-Intelligencer was wrapped in a plastic bag with a little side pocket on it that contained two harmless liquids, in separate packets. Dove Smoothing Frizz Control and Dove Define & Shine Control Gel; according to the blaring TV news last night, and the glaring headlines, terrorists can make deadly weapons by combining normally benign substances. Anywhere, any time!
It's a late-breaking perfect midafternoon, and I got my mother out for her second walk. We chatted briefly with the neighbor down on the corner whose tomato plants are now taller than we are, and just beginning to provide red fruit. We think privately that it needs to be hotter for them to really ripen, especially at night. Perhaps some thermal blankets around them would help.
Evening walk with my beloved spouse, just after sunset. It's feeling a bit autumnal these past few nights, and darker soon.
