08: best Broccoli Rabe - Fresh and tender, straight from the garden.
09: new bear coping strategy for dogs - Evidently sometimes they just stand there silently and hope not to be noticed.
10: Elka Park - Visiting some Charlottesville friends at a quirky old Victorian mansion in the Catskills.
11: yet another cat disaster - I wake up at Elka Park to learn one of our newly-adopted cats removed a screen from a window and escaped out onto a roof. And that wasn't the last bad cat news of the day.
12: showcasing La Florentina - Taking friends to our favorite Italian restaurant.
13: confession works - Looking at Uptown Kingston real estate in the rain, and dining with Susan and David on their first night to be spent in their new house.
14: not enough batteries - I take delivery of a new game camera with a hungry appetite for batteries while Gretchen drives off to Delaware.

21: until they died of starvation - The dogs refuse to leave the base of a tree that a bear had escaped into.

26: 140 pounds - A record backpack load of firewood for a partially-exposed fourth tranche in the woodshed.
27: helpful unnecessary switch - Fixing my Greenworks 10 inch lithium chainsaw's switch by simply jumpering around the one bad switch (there are two for some reason).
28: fluffy orange cat spotted - And so a trap is set.
29: between the Deeps - Swimportunities near Woodstock. And Oscar the Cat reluctantly returns.
30: function for religion - Two turd sandwiches from the Supreme Court.
