We took the girl to a pumpkin farm last week. She enjoyed hiding behind the pumpkins.
I enjoyed taking pictures, of her and the pumpkins.

The fields were largely empty. We’d waited too long.
We’d waited so long, in fact, that we often encountered the not-so-recently departed.
Still, we all found a pumpkin, even the Girl. “Zrob moj moj!” K suggests (Nana might have said, “Love the pumpkin!”), and L willingly complies.
Afterward, the Girl rode about a while,
and I took a few more pictures.

This election is really starting to scare me. I know a lot of people are saying that Obama scares them, and their reasoning is the cause of my fear. It is showing levels of naive stupidity in this country that I simply was not willing to admit to myself existed.
Two pieces of evidence from The Guardian:
- There will be a race war in America if Obama is elected.
- Obama is the anti-Christ.
I think educated non-Americans around the world are scratching their heads, wondering how a country filled with this kind of thinking could have risen to such heights…
How many nails does it take to hold a door in place?
The Old
Apparently only two, because when we ripped out this old door to put in a new one, we used a reciprocating saw only twice, for the two lonely nails on the knob side. The door was held in place, I’m assuming, by the generous application of caulk on the outside of the door. The caulk did double duty, though, for it not only secured the door but insulated the door, and it was a solo gig. Not a scrap of insulation between the door frame and the house; not a pin-point of insulating foam; not even a gratuitous bead of caulk.
No only that, but the door was essentially levitating.
It’s difficult to discern it in the picture, but that block of lumber looked as if it had been finished with a dull hatchet.
The whole thing was so poorly installed that if I’d sneezed when closing the door, I might have knocked the whole thing out, frame and all.
Not this one, though.
