Jul. 28th, 2006 11:06 pmThere was a splendid crop of red cherry tomatoes a couple of days ago. Yesterday there seemed to be fewer than I remembered, Yesterday evening there was rustling in the eaves, and even fewer ripe tomatoes. This morning every single ripe or near-ripe one was *gone*. I would blame the squirrels, but the theft took place after dark. Apparently we have possums around here. (Um. Opossums if they're merkin possums?) Wonder if I can buy a catapult anywhere around here...
The light rail in San Jose was severely disrupted by Grand Prix this evening, but I did get one compensation. One of the bikes in the bike compartment on the tram was... a penny-farthing. :-)
Only 700 words today - slacking somewhat. Combination of RSI catching up with me after yesterday's overdoing things, and needing to work out exactly how the current chapter is going to go.

As I was saying, at least with a tabletop siege engine I would probably have volunteers from amongst the junior Freidmans to help me build it. Complete with critique of its hisotrical accuracy. :-)
