MayDay!

1. Saw the sun danced up on the baylands (Deer Creek pulled 'em over.)   Still want to be a Morris Dancer.  Perhaps I should go buy a Morris?
Nah, project cars never work for me.   It was cool.  The Wolf Creek side (all 5th/6th graders) showed what a lack of caffiene combined with sticks can do, and there was a new side, wearing Orange Highway Safety Vests, and the fool had a shovel.  Got some luck (face paint off a dancer).  Hmm, there was conditioner or lotion in that luck.

2. In honor, transplanted one pot into a large plot (volunteer unknown tomato, 2 basils, added 2 marigolds) and planted two small pots...sorry, seeded two small pots with Thai basil.  Also got the back yard chopped back slightly. 

3. News today interesting:  Albert Hofman has died at age 102, at least they're using one of his more famous creations for medicine in Switzerland.   http://news.google.com/news?btcid=f869258178ca03aa ; (good commentary)
Memresistor nanotech demo'ed.    http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/04/scientists-prov.html
(Will have some amazing results)
and finally, Bay Area air still sucks.

Still, from my point of view?  Better than it was in the late 70's. 

Anyway, Happy Birthday MayDayBabe and NorthernLupe!

I agree that the air quality is better than when we were in college; I distinctly remember driving to school from Fremont and seeing that brown haze.
