Fresh Peppers from the Garden!

Last night's tasty dinner of baked pasta in tomato sauce with cheese and last of our zucchini, baked and parmed just the way I like it. Absolutely delicious. Farewell, dear zucchini... I have new appreciation for you that I didn't before they were grown at home. I look forward to the autumn crop, now.


After I went to bed last night, Amy and BHK played more than a few games of Aquarius and Carcassone - Hunters & Gatherers. From my understanding, Amy won the bulk of them, but BHK wasn't totally skunked. Nifty - There's an online play version of C:H&G at Yucata and a solo self-play of Aquarius on the Aquarius link prior. If anyone wants in on a turn-based game or two, look for me there, or at superdupergames for icehouse -type stuff. I'm username scottobear in both, and try to log in once a night for a move or three. BHK and AMy also turned me on to Tribal Wars , which also looks pretty cool. I'd like to start a community or something to track all the different stuff!

Tonight - Witch Trial was a good time and we played more Aquarius, but we did'nt get a chance to play Chrononauts (All I wanted was a souvenir T-rex named Emily - or a Stegosaurus of any name.)

Ape Lad posted a picture in response to the death kitty: His lolcats cartoons are pretty dang cute variations on an otherwise dead meme.

Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.
