Asking certain people to stay home for the sake of society is absurd, because these are people society has never cared about. ‘‘Stay home so people won’t die’’ is a hell of a thing to say to those who are dying of hunger. I keep thinking about floods, and how only after the waters recede do the bodies of the drowned become visible.

I think if I collect enough of these images, sooner or later I’ll have something to stitch together; I don’t want to arrange the gloves (these are taken where the glove was on the ground) but I could see someone making a collage with gloves spelling letters in ASL or making obscene gestures.
At least once a week, I come upon a sidewalk where someone has thrown down twenty or thirty lottery tickets.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, the plant that produces the most calories per acre: sweet potato.

There’s two Kale plants that have almost produced viable seeds that I’m keeping around.
Eight tomato plants from Red Earth Farm (list below). Three plants got basil as a companion, one got parsley.

Herb Garden: Two different sorts of parsley, hyssop, chives, garlic chives, two thymes, out of control sorrel, oregano, Greek oregano, sage, purple sage, and a giant Rosemary in the back.
