minutia

*The minute one continues to have Opinions. Most of them are compatible with reality. She's even developing a limited sense of self-preservation, although it doesn't yet include the concept of crawling off edges.

*I have planted my chestnut tree with large amounts of the leaf mulch pile cut in to its back-dirt and am hoping that the 35+ year old (possibly at least twice that?) coal ash pit I discovered upon digging the hole won't still be toxic to it. (The old gas heater was at least installed by the 80s, and there was oil before that, so I'm not sure when the coal was a thing. The composting books I've been reading tell me that I ought to avoid it like the plague, tho.)

*There is some possibility that we will all be in Mountain View for a week or so in probably early November around a work thing for grauwulf. I have no idea how the Megatherium will react to time zone changes, and I'm a little freaked out by the idea of modern airport nonsense with a proto-toddler who's increasingly more aware of her surroundings, but assuming we survive all that I suspect we'll have a bunch of time in which we might be able to meet people for lunch or things. Since I know about as many friend-like people in the SF area as I do in DC/Baltimore... There are also liable to be a few days scheduled to sight see with grauwulf, so if you're interested in joining us at the Monterrey Bay aquarium or to see redwoods or something, that would be nice, too. (Also recent travel with infant tips & what one ought to do about car seats (transport ours? are there rental options? if so, are they a horrible idea?) would be appreciated.)

*Opinionated baby requires attention. More someday.
