Orson Scott Card, on the war.

Update: *sigh* The link is now there...sorry.

Whee, stuff done.

Not too bad. The front flower beds are looking better (not yet good, but better). Debating taking out the plant in the very front. I don't know how to care for it and I also didn't like it all last year, even. So...yeah. Probably time to yank it and replace it with something else, but I had to do that with what was someone else's chosen piece.

I'm such a wimp. I have no problem, however, yanking out the weeds and boy was it nice to see so many of them go. (Side bed still needs weeding, the front area by the maple hasn't been touched, and then the rest could use a more detailed going-over to make sure I didn't overlook anything.)

Costco won't be open to me for another hour and a half. That's annoying; normally I don't care about their weekday hours, but today it's frustrating me. Oh, well, I'll survive being frustrated. I needed to take the care to Les Schwab for general tire care sometime this week; I think that task just moved up from tomorrow to today.

It's not all hard work. After Costco today, assuming nothing else changes, I'm roleplaying online; then in the evening (around 4-5) I plan to go out back and dig for a while. Then we have the movie tonight. All in all - I don't think I'm doing too badly.
