Independence Day
Mood:  cool
Topic: some days are pretty good
I haven't been reading any geology the past few days and I also have neglected this blog. But I am still thinking in earth science terms......

A customer visited my "real life" shop and selected, then rejected, a very nice brazil agate slab because, in her words, "it looks like a uterus". I got a big kick out of that one. When I get my computer back I am going to photograph it and post it online as NFS.

Yesterday I purchased a siamese kitten. That's all I need. My old cat has become senile and/or incontinent and she doesn't like the newcomer. She used to be quite a hunter but with age she has hung up her rifles, I guess.

As far as writing goes......I submitted my article (with photos) about how my grandfather was a rockhound. I missed the deadline on a short story contest (again) but I can write it as a confession. It's half finished. And the pastor of the church where I work has given me an idea for another story. The problem is, I feel like I've already written that story...in another form....

My penpal who was born and raised in England and now lives in a commonwealth nation, says of our July 4, "not that the date is of any significance." :)
