D.O.P.-T. (day before yesterday)

Bear has been sneezing all over my nightie. I take it as a compliment, if only for my taste in fabrics (red flannel).

D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

We went to the San Jose library, both because I had a ton of no longer renewable books (the housemate has been working out and can now carry my Ikea bag full of books for short distances, but this should not be pushed), and because last week she was unable to find the book on the University of Göttingen under National Socialism, and that library has the only copy in the inter-library loan consortium. It did take me 10 minutes to find it - entailing my picking up several histories of other universities - and I guessed wrong the first time, seeking it on the shelf backing up to the correct one, thinking it might have been pushed through - but I eventually found it in the correct numerical position, under C rather than F. They look alike, don't you know.

D.O.P.-T.

We had some rain on Friday, mostly during the night, and that was good. But back to below freezing last night, so there is plentiful frost on plants. Two crows were shrieking in either dismay or exultation as they followed each other from treetop to treetop.
