the way things were mint to be

yes, I know: groan

I had forgotten, when writing my previous entry about geocaching on the way home, about the other cool thing that happened to me while walking home from work today.

One of the houses along the way had a bunch of pots on a little bench, next to the sidewalk, along with a note. I walked over, and saw that the pots were full of mint, and the note explained that the mint was free for the taking, but not to "let it take over." So I took a pot and brought it home with me; spearmint. I don't have a yard, only containers on my balcony, so I don't have to worry about the mint taking over. Will be very nice to have fresh mint now.

Sometimes people can be so cool.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
