2010-10-01 - 9:56 a.m. Still no computer. I can't quite figure out what or how to move first, to "make room, make room." I puttered some in the bedroom yesterday, where I found a very fine Brazilian Agate, almost 3 pounds, and also a beautiful 4 pound single terminated Quartz crystal from the Hot Springs, Arkansas area. I have photos in my camera, ready to download when I get my own computer again. I got somewhat side-tracked into sorting all of my belts, which seems a silly task, since we don't wear belts any more, since pants start at the hips rather than the waist and can be bought to fit properly. Younger readers won't even know what I'm talking about, but prior to the 1990s, pants started at the waist instead of the hips, and the odds of finding a pair of pants that fit correctly at both waist and the hips, well, most of the time, that's just not gonna happen, at least not for a petite but curvy female. Hence the need for a belt to pull in that waist. Also people wore more long/oversized shirts instead of cropped tops, so again you had to have a belt to define your figure. I didn't quite realize that I had THAT many belts, though. Oh, and I finally took a photograph out of a stupid cardboard frame that Caesar's Las Vegas gave me and put it in a proper frame from one of the many frames living in the attic. Should have done that years ago. Another beautiful day. Courtney was complaining -- not the cat call, but the "there's a problem, folks," call -- and I went to see a female Common Yellowthroat rustling around in the bush near his flight. "That's OK, she's allowed to be out there, as long as she understands that she has to find her own food." I wonder what caught his attention about that bird. He doesn't feel called upon to report every time the Carolina Wrens come poking around.
