My phone came home today! It returned from Hungary to be delivered in a bright yellow DHL van by a very tall, slender man who looked like a Somali. It says something about the internationality of our current world. The phone had to be weaned off Hungarian, which it seemed to have adopted as its new language, but now it's rebooted and back to normal, thanks to the indefatigable and indispensable Carlo. An amazing odyssey!

Yesterday, Strawberry Star came over. We had a lunch snack and then she helped me inaugurate my Root Slayer shovel, finally unboxed. We used it to dig up some monster thistles which we then chopped into sections and stuffed into bags. This took a great weight off my mind. I'd been afraid that they would go to seed before I could eliminate them. This shovel is the bomb! It looks like some medieval executioner's weapon. Maybe I'll name it after the sword of Severian in "Shadow of the Torturer:" Terminus Est. Buckthorn! I will end you!

We had a lot of odds and ends in the refrigerator, so I constructed a large salad for dinner. It contained lettuce, cucumbers, radishes, some lightly steamed carrots, corn, a bit of chopped bacon, and some remainders of steak chopped up. It was tasty and cool for a summer night.
