The trees are drawing me near ...

Been all over the virtual planet today and have to admit that nothing seems particularly compelling to write about.

Went to vote against the gasoline tax hike in Oklahoma.

On behalf of youngest son, donated a backpack to evacuee relief efforts at Camp Gruber through our parish church.

Smiled at several people. Two or three actually smiled back.

Listened for a bit to the John Roberts hearings and heard nothing remarkable. That's good news.

Saw that we've already had two X-1 class solar flares today within an hour of one another. That's good for auroras but otherwise potential trouble for the geomagnetic grid.

Ought to get started on the Already Postponed Renovation of Oklahomily Project Outline Stuff (hereabouts known as APROPOS). Don't much feel like it.

It's Tuesday afternoon.
