The Joy of Spam
If your spam filter isn't working, it just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming.
Do I need a cheap car? An early payday? Satellite TV? Money for school? Maybe even a job? Or maybe I need to control my appetite. Spam reveals the way! Here's some of my favorite topics.
Breast Implants
Sounds great!? Not only can I get these larger, perkier breasts, but I can afford better breasts!Wow! Well why not, if I can afford it!
"Are you tired of men paying more attention to women with larger, perkier breasts?"
Hmm, can't say I am! And what exactly makes a breast perkier? Is it just size or a more conical shape?
What if you think you're reasonably proportioned as is? (They look ok in the pic, at least to me.) Who needs to be top heavy!
"Do you want to feel better about yourself and have all those eyes on you at the next party?"
So, why do I want to see Britney's pics? What if looking at a young women's pics isn't my thing?
Why does spam always assume everyone is single? Or is this an opportunity for those in a relationship to "chat" with someone else -- maybe one of those extra sexxxy singles! This is a consumer society, so why just have one relationship when you can have as many as you can stand!
Now, you shouldn't think I spend my days reading spam. But every once in a while, it's entertaining to see what they're trying to sell and how they pitch it. Ah, spam -- it you can't avoid it, at least you can make fun of it!
Visitor in my garden
Now it's been unusually warm again, in the 60s (15 to 18 deg. C), and I was thinking of taking in my 4-ft. high geranium before the killing frost (if it ever comes). As I was about to reach for the geranium pot, I felt something funny. There was this web connected to my plant and the biggest spider I ever saw in the garden sitting in the middle of her web. Well, I just left her alone.
Later I showed it to Rosie who said “Hmm, not going to catch much at this time of year.” Unless some insects decided to check out the unusually warm weather in November, she’ll go hungry.
Today, the web remains, but no garden spider.

My Garden is Dying
Being in the city, it comes a few weeks later. But it's now or never to rescue whatever I want to keep indoors over the winter. Soon my inpatients will be withered, the tomato plants brown, and leaves will cover it all until next spring.
Here are some photos of my garden last’s days before the frost and the rescuing of the geraniums and parsley.
For pictures of this garden in bloom, see my post titled "My little garden."
