Garden condos

Bill & Morgan (neighbors) and Anna & myself bought a plot at the golden hill community garden. We are heading there this weekend to dig it up and get ready. Everything about the garden (ecologically, socially, etc) makes for a great project.

The legend is dead. They killed off Gaslamp Liquor to build some more condos. Seems to be the standard M.O. for San Diego – raze everything and put up new shiny things. Makes you wonder how long it will be until downtown is a replica of suburbia.

Happy news

I am engaged. Anna and I have been discussing it for ages, but we finally made it official Sat morning.

Busy busy. Starting to get ready for Burning Man. Bought a shelter, the dome last year was just too much work. I found that I just sat around during the day as well, it was too posh. I hope this will get my ass out more. Still haven’t found the tent poles.. hmm.

We went shopping at North Park Produce to stock up on desert food. I love that store. Bought about 15 cans of dolmas, stuffed eggplant, etc. Didn’t forget the coconut juice either.

Going to be buying a lot at the community garden later today, hope I can get a crop up before it gets too chilly.

The Saudis claim to have plenty of reserves, but a top energy expert disputes that. Without any independent data, the world is dangerously in the dark. Are we peaked yet?

Good to see Florida is getting a hold on all of those vote machine issues. Oh.. nevermind.
