After work, I surveyed our yard, noting what will need to be done, what plans are popping up; should they remain or be removed.  There is a whole stretch of wood violets in a section of my lawn; so, if I mow them will I be fined for deflowering the state flower?  Maybe I should give Russ Feingold a call, he's on the judiciary committee.

I scanned our trees for gypsy moth egg casings, didn't see any.  There are at least 5 rabbits that are hanging out in our yard and the neighbor's yard; I will have to keep a watch on them.

While outside I was reminded of the overbearing amounts of fornication going on around me (to paraphrase Werner Herzog); there were 2 cardinals mating in one of my bushes, basically just a few feet from me, couldn't they have waited?  Bird sex looks very uncomfortable, the male mounts the female, and then it looks like the male is surfing rather than depositing his seed; glad I don't have to do that.

iPod tracks played today: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River, while on shuffle there was quite a favoring of Neil Young: Lookout Joe, Down by the River, and Sedan Delivery all within close proximity of each other. It would be interesting to know how the contraption derives it shuffle 'feature'; if I recall, computers really cannot generate random numbers, rather it is layering of different algorithims; maybe I should give Bill Gates or Steve Jobs a call; after all they should know as they produce all those fabulous computing machines. 

Finished the Franklin's Tale, now starting the Physician's Tale in CT.
