beans; correction

I am eating 13 raw pole beans for lunch. (Well, other things, too.) Previous harvest was 3, so a total of 16 pole beans have made it! More are still little. They are very long - 8 inches - but pretty good flavor. Fortex is the cultivar.

mr. flea wishes me to correct the word "argument" in yesterday's post about Dillo's name and change it to "constructive discussion." I suppose we did get somewhere - we found 2 first names we can both live with.

book

Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer, Don't Look Down.

I tried. I didn't like it. I had to skim whole sections. I don't like thrillers. There wasn't enough time to get to know the people as people. It felt rushed. It felt cartoonish. J. T. was a walking cliche, not a human. I didn't believe the love story. There were even plot holes, for cryin' out loud.

Jenny, write Gloom's love story and I'll forgive you. But no more army stuff.
