Post 2,959. Twenty years later, how does time go by so fast? I don't post as much as I used to, and mostly use my blog to keep track of major events in my life. Having a blog has allowed me to make life-long friends, see new places, and experience new things. Who knows what will happen in the next 20 years?

It has been hellishly hot this summer, after such a nice spring. Many days of over 110 degree heat. Finally the monsoon rains have started.
First real rain.
One weekend day Matt and I went up to the top of Mount Lemmon for a picnic. It was 101 at the base of the mountain and 81 at the top. Such a nice couple of hours.
Cool dudes.
Mostly spending my days at work watching trenches being dug. Or when I am at the office making changes to appease the museum people. Exactly what elevation is that street downtown?
Last week I did a survey and documented a historic home site. Lots of pretty ceramics. Definitely will be doing further work there.
Many varieties of 1880s-1900s ceramics.
This is me at around 5:30 AM, sitting on my bucket, waiting for the guys to start working in the trench.
The splotch on the shirt is from when the workmen dropped asphalt on a puddle and it splashed me.
Yesterday I went to the Presidio museum and picked figs. The tree is enormous now.
Fig tree.
Three pounds figs (9 cups), about 2 cups sugar, juice of two lemons, zest of one lemon, and a splash of vanilla, and voila! You have fig preserved.
Figs before cooking.
What else? The presidential election is how many months away? 16. So sick of it already.

Well the Supreme "Justices" have decided that Christians have the right to discriminate against LGBT people. The bitch who took the case to the Supreme Court, well I hope a house falls on her.
And in my hometown some hairdresser has decided she can't do the hair of trans people.
I used to think poorly of Christians. Now when I learn someone is a Christian, I think they are just the vilest people. Scum. Bigots.
I guess some are "good people." But like "good cops" they are mostly silent and look away when the fundamentalists are busy getting laws passed against LGBT people.
