Eat flies?

Grammie writes: "I want to know, do you really eat flies?"

Yes! They sort of taste better than ladybugs, and I'm pretty sure they don't grow on anything that spreads disease (out here at least). I was at Earthaven when Caelin ate washed soldier fly maggots from the composting toilet. Not that I would do that. See also eatbug.com.

Water-of-the-Woods


The only deeper thought of the day: do I do anything more than enjoy my freedom? The only tentative response: do this, share about it--other possibilities may follow. Sunday, 1830. Low on food, so won't do lots of exertion. Currently, I'm in the wild mile of canyon between Water-of-the-Woods and Noble Canyon. My tonsils/throat still make swallowing somewhat painful.

Beautiful day, discoveries. I may study more about Mt Laguna. Check/subscribe to the twitter feed for the rest of the story. There may be no more reception till I get near old hwy 80.

Birdsong audio post?

The second part of the refrain seems cause noise cancelling to kick in. If this works, what bird is this? The only bird I saw near it looked like a chickadee. AMR format on phone may not be useful on web.

(1 of 2) Hacking; flies; beautiful day; future


The project today turned out to be using Opera Mini on this Nokia 2610 to look at many of the feeds I have in google reader. And to mark some of the items shared. I spend much of my time looking around me as I reload the browser after a memory crash, or as I wait for a page to load. The fruit of my effort:

http://www.google.com/reader/shared/09924010917790795361

Unfortunateley, one item I wanted to share got marked read and not marked shared due to browser oddness. So help me, I can find no way to view the item again in G reader to mark it shared given the memory limits of this phone. To find out about the May 31 bike tour of north county SD gardens, try:

Doing all this -- I'm not sure what to make of it. I like it out here a lot. Being the weekend, there are a few more people around. I moved around a few times, too, due to fly, reception, and battery issues. I don't really want to go back to the city. But food will get low.
