To do: ---------------------------------------- - donate books Tried. A disappointing morning. Drove to BTPL to donate a bunch of books, but they're not taking donations. Guess it make sense, since they haven't been able to do book sales during the pandemic. This foiling of my plans caused me brief but surprisingly intense emotional distress. Stopped at Evans Nature Preserve on my way back from the library. Twenty-minute walk. Overflowing with wildflowers, smelling strongly and pleasantly herbal. Saw a great variety of bees, beetles, dragonflies, and butterflies. And a deer. And several types of mushrooms. Heard cicadas. https://twitter.com/AlexPetrovnia/status/1415665948355403778 > In fact, the Appalachian mountains are 480 million years old. For context, that's about 100 million years before the first animals walked on land. > The majority of the fossils in this region are so old that they come from limestone rocks, formed on the bottom of the ocean, when life as we know it hadn't yet evolved.

Watched some Hill Street Blues. Great show — way ahead of its time. Minutes spent packing: 45 Servings: grains 6/6, fruit 1/4, vegetables 3/4, dairy 0/2, meat 1/3, nuts 0/0.5 Brunch: banana, coffee Lunch: Japanese curry Dinner: cheese curls
