DEPARTMENTATTIC
be a pack ratThe purpose of the attic is to hold all the stuff that I don't know where else to put. I've always been a pack rat (Diana would definitely agree!). I think I get it from my Dad and my Grampa on my Mom's side. It's just hard for me to throw stuff away. You just never know when you might need a... you know... one of those... and I had one here, I just don't know where it is right now. In a metaphorical sense the 'attic' is the same thing. It's where I'll put all the miscellaneous stuff. I'm not sure how I'll index it just yet. Probably the same way I keep track of stuff in my attic at home. I'll dig through it every six months or so and say, "Hey check this out! I was wondering where this was."

Lucky for the Iraqis... | dave politics | 09/23/02 | the october surprise – Ready for war? It should start sometime in mid-October I figure.

It will be the October Surprise that won't surprise anyone at all.... | dave politics | 03/08/02 | diligence – We are a nation at war. A war on terrorism they say.

Bt corn has been discovered growing openly in Mexico... | dave poetry | 10/24/01 | great blue heron – Every so often we encounter nature up close and personal. Rushing about in our manmade world we meet nature face to face and she stops us in our tracks. Our resident poetess Elisa recalls such an encounter. | elisa members only | 10/22/01 | resilient children – A poem close to the heart... too close, in fact, for public consumption, at least for now... so it becomes our first members only entry. | dave garden | 08/26/01 | year of the compost pile – We took out the remaining corn stalks and most of the tomatoes and okra.

That is not going to happen next year... | dave garden | 07/24/01 | strange days – The average high temperature last week was 84. This is Carmichael for goodness sake!
