Backyard Monster

Discovered this alligator lizard roaming around our compost pile:

Must have gotten comfortable; didn’t want to let go:

Then I put him/her right back where I found it.

Now we know what lurks in the dark: REPTILE!

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats-helper-monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 3,400 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 57 trips to carry that many people.

WordPress Meetup – Milpitas

macenable — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:46:33 +0000

Hanging out afterward (almost 4 PM!) are a few members of a group that meets the third Wednesday of the month at 1:30 PM in the Milpitas Library computer room. (Kenna Mawk, R.I.P., had been scheduled to make the presentation at this meeting.)

Another group, complimentary to Milpitas, is starting in Saratoga. It will meet in the computer training room of the library on first Thursdays of the month, same time of day.

WordPress-Saratoga MeetUp Group <- 1st meeting is September 1st at 1:30 PM!

By the way, this blog, lincolnCt.com, is one of the simplest examples of what wordpress.com offers. (WordPress.org, on the other hand, gives you all the PHP/MySQL code to run on your own server.)

Humongous storage facility being build on Curtner, east of highway 87. Looks like cellphone reception will be exceptional.

Tangy Tomatoes

macenable — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 05:53:52 +0000

Couple of volunteer cherry tomato plants popped out of the compost bin and I encouraged them to climb inside the cages. Never seen them this tall before.

Trouble is, a good part of our compost is made from orange and lemon rinds, so the red little fruits are decidedly citric, puckerliciously so.
