Hey, I just report the news

The headline: Salmon Spawns on Obama’s Shoes

The quote: “You see that?” Obama declared Wednesday as he gripped a fish with two hands. “Something’s got on my shoes.”…Generally you don’t want fish spawning on your feet. He said the local fisherwoman who accompanied him said the fish was “happy to see me.”

There’s video. Knock yourselves out.

Seven years later…

cobnuts

These are cobnuts. They are a variety of hazelnuts (or filberts, if you prefer). They aren’t dried, though — they’re served wet in their little wrappers, so they’re only available from about August to October.

Love me some cobnuts. Uncle B planted a cobnut tree not long after we moved in. It’s grown into a lovely, full, bushy thing. Healthy? Fer sure. Productive? Not so much.

This is our entire cobnut crop for 2015.

Non-drowsy, my ass!

My eyes have been kinda itchy lately, so I took a Cetirizine. One seven hour nap later…

Oh wait — these aren’t the non-drowsy kind!

Sheesh…I hope I can sleep before work tomorrow…
