It is amazingly difficult to find places that recycle electronics. For the rest of the summer, Office Depot is offering to take certain items for free.

Lily
The vet came by this morning to check Lily, who attempted to bow a tendon two weeks ago. We were all extremely pleased to see that the injured left leg, which has been in a gel cast for two weeks, is now identical to the perfect right leg. The vet couldn’t get even an ear flicker as she palpated the leg, so Lily is not feeling any tenderness. It couldn’t be better at this stage.
For three days we will keep her in her current tiny paddock (made by closing off the end of a long run) without any cast or other support. Then, if all goes well, she will be allowed into the larger ran. In ten days or so, I will begin handwalking her. Despite the good news, we still have a lengthy rehabilitation ahead of us.

Firefox Extensions
I just uploaded to Firefox 9.1. Although most of my configuration came along for the ride, I had to reinstall my extensions. I had been using SwitchProxy and Web Developer. In the process of loading these, I discovered TextZoom, which automatically zooms the text when a new page loads.
Three chicks
The chicks are growing up. Cottage cheese is a special treat.
Dudley
Whenever I give him a chew (this one was chosen because of its supposedly superior teeth cleaning abilities) Dudley will lay with it between his paws for about a half an hour. I have never been able to decide if he is savoring the anticipation, or hoping desperately that somebody will come along and try to take it from him.
Shrek 2
I saw Shrek 2 with Jack this afternoon. I haven’t laughed so much in a very long time. Even the screaming infant did little to detract from my pleasure. Since I am not a student of popular culture, I am sure there were many references I didn’t catch. However, I did catch one thing before Jack did….
Hummingbird with Rainbow
Yesterday evening, Jack and I spent some time on the deck watching the thunderstorm and the resulting rainbow.
Dianthus
I am told by experienced gardeners that these are not the plants I put in the ground last year, but the results of those plants reseeding themselves. In any event, they make a spectacular show.
