If you were looking for knitting content, you’d better pass on this entry. I fell asleep in my chair early last night, earlier than usual. I managed FOUR rows of knitting. That leaves me with nothing to update. There are a few other things that come to mind.
I’ve been at my desk all morning, at work, getting stuff out of the way. Not much headway has been made on the stacks of paperwork that surround me, but several eye strain rebate forms are ready for the mail and I’m finally up to the *call City Hall and talk to the mayor* $100.00 parking ticket. If it isn’t paid in 14 days the fine doubles, in 28, it triples. I have six trucks trying to park, everyday, in Providence, a city not really open to business. When an economy is on the down turn, one would think that it would make sense to try to encourage business, not wipe out those that are left in the struggle. Ah well…. that would be my take on it, apparently NOT that of the Mayor, and thus, the phone call. In order to procrastinate just a bit longer, I’ll post. First.
Web / Blog stuff:
- Podcasts… there are more everyday. Links to some of the knitting content podcasts are on my sidebar. I love listening to them while I walk. If I had a speaking voice and something to say, I’d be there. What a terrific concept. It’s like taking your Stitch and Bitch with you, wherever.
- Then, there’s Pandora, if you haven’t tried it yet, go now. It provides you with fantastic music selections, picked to your specifications, for your on the spot moods, whenever. Love it.
- Thanks to Margene’s link to Lisa, and her link to this, I’ve got everything back in perspective. Try it.
Hey, have a good weekend. I’m going on an Antique Greenhouse tour. Pictures are sure to follow. Meanwhile, I’ll leave you with this harbinger of spring… the water striders are back. Saw this guy yesterday.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. Last week I was taking pictures of ice.

Thanks for the link to Pandora.com. My new favorite!!!
The bugs sure show up quickly! Thanks for the link to Pandora’s and good luck with the ticket!
Given the city you’re talking about, odds are the Mayor’s skimming half of that parking ticket right off the top. Old habits die hard… so do old reputations, unfortunately.
We call them water skeeters, and they are not *out* yet here. But we do have sandhill cranes flying North overhead, lots of little flitty birds, robins and. . . hummers. 🙂
I never heard of water striders before but that’s pretty neat. I had an ant in the house the other day. Does that count?
I miss seeing water striders. I haven’t ever seen any in WA, but maybe I’m not looking hard enough.
We got our first hummingbird here today! It was a red breasted female. My mom and I were hanging paper lanterns on the sun umbrella over the table that just happens to be near the hummer feeder and the hummingbird was dive bombing us! I’m not unfamiliar with their territorial behavior, but it was putting me on edge. I think the first time I got dive bombed by a hummingbird and HIT was in AZ. I don’t know if it tried to hit me, but it did and it hurt. Little effers.
Wonderful bug! As you know, it evokes all of spring to me. Yay! I’m done with snow this year 🙂
Stupid parking tickets – i got “caught short” and got my first ever parking ticket cos I couldn’t get back to the car in time… Wow – last week ice, this week water striders!
Do you miss Mayor Buddy C? He was a character.
Looks like spring is trying to arrive!
