Ahh, of course you're right about the outdoor whizzing. The neighbors' gardeners seem to be fond of quick outdoor dumping, as well.

Had some nice wine last night w/ dinner. A Murphy-Goode chard from somewhere in noCal (which was really excellent) and a clearanced chard from Santa Cruz that, while not nearly as good as the other wine, was an incredible bargain. Roudon-Smith or something like that.

If we're having an intervention, do bring some of the good stuff, eh?
