sometimes i am afraid to read a personal note.

Before the chicken hearing (BZA), I posted my letter to the board on the fence outside the house, and a note to the neighbors. Last week I saw someone had stuck a folded piece of paper with writing on it into the space between my posting and the fence. I carried it in my pocket for a while and then made Dave read it. It turned out to say, "Are your chickens still citizens of Cambridge? from a chicken supporter" or something like that. It was written on a torn-off paper from a jury duty notice.

To work for the seed box, and to Eva's to pick up Izzy. Missed two other opportunities for biking, which I now regret.

Up hill, with David.

Isabel picked up a new bike yesterday after several years of not really having one to speak of. We biked to her school this morning.
Then I biked to pick her up; we stopped by Tosci's on the way home.



History:

So yesterday I actually filed my taxes. Or, my tax preparer did. But it's the first time in many years that they went in this early. Usually I file late.

Got a pretty hefty tax break on the solar hot water, and even some money back for the insulation. Sweet.

And water in the solar storage tank got to 134.7F yesterday.



I think the time axis labeling is off -- no one was showering at 4am this morning. Looks like west coast time to me.

Work & back. To David's school for parent/teacher meetings, & back. To Dave's work with David to go out for dinner & movie, & back.

Third day of the nor'easter and it is not abating.

Last night Dave and I stayed up really late watching "Daniel Deroda", a BBC/WGBH production. It's in 4 parts, and we could not bear to not watch the next part as each one ended. Very bad of me. But so enjoyable.
