While flipping through the referrals for my flickr images, I noticed that this picture of Settlers of Catan board had (relative to my other images) a lot of views. The reason, as best as I can tell, is that it was used as a stock image of Settlers in this guy’s adaptation of a game based on Iron Council, a book that 1) few enough people have read, and 2) I really enjoyed.

So that’s cool. Thanks for that, interwebs.

After approximately a year on the waiting list, we finally got a plot in our housing development’s community garden. Two weeks ago we cleared out a bunch of debris, laid down manure, and planted seeds. We planted basil, onions, potatoes, beets, lettuce, and a bunch of other things I forget. Then we laid down bricks to make nice walkways between the sections, and mulch in the unused areas.

Now we’re starting to get green things popping up, but at this point it’s hard to tell weeds from plants.
