Thought for the day ...
Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of this liberty - his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
... Aldous Huxley.

Saw a chipmunk in the garden for the first time ever. They're common enough out in the countryside, but they don't seem to be city mice. At least I've never seen one until now.

The one I saw was scampering up, down and through a shrub in Ron's garden snatching mouthfuls of ripe berries in competition with birds.
