Es regnet.

I must say I didn’t expect this: a rainy day in Texas in August. For some reason I particularly like listening to Chris Rice when it is overcast. I’ve been lounging around the apartment by myself, which is wonderful, baking strawberry bread and reading about the Arab Revolt and about the history of the telescope. This afternoon might involve an excursion to Ikea, or possibly to a bookstore, as if I don’t own an overwhelming number of books that are dying to be read. But my currently reading, Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph by T. E. Lawrence, is a 600+ page monster, so don’t expect a review too soon. If you’re impatient, I encourage you to pick it up yourself, as it is positively marvelous so far.

Here is a license plate Philip spotted:

He called it the sandwich from hell. I married a very witty man.
