Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.

signs of autumn

Hummingbird Report: All female RTs. I watched one of them bathe in the rain this morning. Lots of chases this evening.

I can tell that it is getting dark earlier when I sit outside on the bird porch and try to read while chatting with Cookie and listening to the squeaks of the dueling hummingbirds.

Tiny purple buds are forming on the mistflowers.

Some of the satsumas on the troubled tree in the front yard are already starting to turn orange. I planned to wait and harvest them after the first frost, but that date could be months away.

I checked the packet and I planted endive, not lettuce, so I have lots of endive and green onion seedlings jumping up out of the ground.

It rained quite heavily today but I was afraid to transplant the Cypress Vine because it has gotten so large.

BF and I tried the new health food restaurant around the corner for dinner.

Best Headline Ever: "Kelly Naming Would 'Fuck Gilligan' -- Campbell" is the actual front page headline of the Monday Sept. 22 article by Liane Katz and Matthew Tempest in the British newspaper, Guardian. It would be a shame to spoil the perfect da-da of this curious phrase by putting an explanation of what it means so that I won't be completely baffled in later years. I wouldn't want my later self to miss out on the sense of wonder sure to follow upon reading such an unusual claim. I wonder what would happen if the phrase, "Fuck Gilligan" was to appear in the headlines of our beloved Times-Picayune?

Hmmm. Who would have thought that I'd still be capable of learning new vulgarities at this advanced age? Between "whistleass" and "fuck gilligan," I am beginning to feel as young and fresh as a sixth grader. And I thought the news was supposed to add lines to my face.

My favorite vulgarities from BF's years on the job -- "screw the pooch," "circle jerk," and "goat rodeo" -- have not, as far as I know, achieved headline status. Give them time. I know I've seen "goat rodeo" in the squirrelx diary. Can worldwide fame and fortune for this phrase be very far behind?
