a paradigm

August 15, 2008

“Through space-time paradigm we try to identify you with first mankind; we travel often…listening more to ET here, both one infinite faith.” I’m too tired or lazy to re-arrange the words any further this evening. I may come back to today’s anagram later.

My horoscope today was the kind I like to see…about change. It’s time for a change — but a small one! It could be that you want to institute a series of incremental changes in the way you live, but you’ve got to start somewhere. Now is the right time.” Well, I have done that already. I cut a little grass today, something I have not done in a couple of years. I didn’t cut a lot, but it was something. Increments, yeah, it is that, small steps but steps. 

I went to the pool for an hour; it closes for the season tomorrow. Parking is an issue (it’s Ribberfest weekend) so unsure if I will get there tomorrow or not. Being in the pool for an hour is nice, but when I get out I can barely walk. Don’t know why other than I am using muscles not used in a long time. Mostly my hips hurt. I know, waaah, waaah, waaah. I managed to get to the grocery store so we’ll have enough for the weekend. I’m  probably in for the next couple of days other than church.

I know I should have elaborated on a paradigm but…I need to go lie down.

Enjoy the collage and anagram.

cute cukes

August 15, 2008

I only get one TV channel right now. Diana Pickler’s name (a USA entrant in the  heptathalon) came over the airwaves late this morning (11:49AM) as I was looking at a cucumber pickle recipe. I had been looking for some cucumber recipes because of the overabundance of giant yellow cucumbers in the garden, uh, not the kind pictured here but it was kinda’ cute.  8)  I don’t have canning supplies so was looking for other ways to keep cucumbers, like freezer pickles. It made me smile, the pickler coincidence. I then found a site that had lots of cucumber info, and it turned out to be a planetary scientist’s site. In addition to working on the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, one of her many talents is “shamelessly reproducing any cucumber material that comes her way.” I laughed when I read her disclaimer which said the only thing she actually knew about cucumbers is what was contained on her pages. I did bookmark the recipe page, and I’m sure she’d much rather someone mentioned her cucumber knowledge, for a change, instead of all those scientific writings.  ;)
