Dry wall on the porch surprises me. Discovering the need for new shoes. Blood donation report from yesterday. The spider season is over? Teen saying "Look at what I can do!" More greetings than normal as I walk up the hill. A mysterious voice sounds thrilled calling out "Bathroom break!" at the end.

A leaking pipe leads to enough mildew and mold to make my life really uncomfortable. I think my morning sore throats can be attributed to this mold that has been growing in my closet for the past three or four weeks.

Imagining a planet that doesn't rotate. How would life evolve on such a planet? What of the weather and the ocean currents? Nearly the entire episode deals with my thoughts on such a planet. Microphone troubles at the end.

An inspiring runner in the morning. The biological research frontier of life in microgravity. Thoughts about what living in space would entail. Finishing with a lot of tumbleweeds on top of the hill. In retrospect, she runs like a tumbleweed. Instance of synchronicity for my taking.

Thoughts on a student's comment concerning dice and nerds, leading to thoughts on stigmas, the need to have somebody lower than oneself, and identity. Health insurance card woes. Favorite non-hummingbird bird: yellow-billed magpie.

Mini-reunion over the three-day weekend. Fighting a very small fire with a bucket on Thursday. Briefly, microgravity spermatogensis in scrotal testes.

Really, I'm not that blue. I just don't see any big changes occurring due to the Democrats taking control of the House and possibly the Senate. My first Diebold machine experience. Thoughts on Prop. 83, the lack of women in upper reaches of politics, mythology with two moons, and rising gas prices. Hypothesizing about my allergies during Santa Anas.

It's been a while since I've had fullmoon tea. I don't wax lyrical enough about my little ritual from college. Leslie Vasquez offers a ride up the hill. I ponder fossilized substances like dandelion sap, brains, and the two eye humours, aqueous humour and vitreous humour (which I combine in my ignorance).

Retracting previous episode's statement about my health insurance provider's web services. Expired vitamin C. A fun demonstration with water, a container, and gravity. Dew on the pine needles, luminous like stars.

Raking the neighbor's leaves? NaNoWriMo is here! So too is the wind with a vengeance. The scab is gone, but its origin is still a mystery. Brief Halloween report. I don't know why I talk softer as I go up the hill today, but I do.
