General Update, March 7
Mar. 7th, 2013 10:22 amI have finished my first ebook "Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom" by Cory Doctorow http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8086 and appreciated the concept of a future that has beaten mortality, and doctors can't cure sickness, but can only "restore' you, via a lethal injection, and then the imprinting of your memories to the brain of an newly engineered clone.
I then found "The Man Who Would be King" by Rudyard Kipling, on my ebook reader. I didn't choose to download it, but it's there, and right away I'm being drawn into it. Kipling is a masterful writer and the opening scene between two dissipated 19th-century British ex-pats sitting in a third class Indian railway car is compelling.
I've finished the shed foundation, and today, I'll cut some steel framing for the walls and paint it with rustoleum.
My second planting of peas has been attacked by birds, I think, and I'm glad I caged the broccoli seedling when I put them out. I don't know if the peas will recover, and I should build some sort of net over the rows.
I'm finishing the last butternut squash with a series of pies, and will probably run out of fresh lemons this month. Both will be missed, but I have fresh peas now, from the first fall planting.
