The Window



Billy found a fly in the window, and he needed to have it. He did catch it, having had lots of experience playing with the crickets we had for (recent roommate) Susan's gecko. I think I will preserve our friendship by not putting a photo of her and Billy here. ;-) There are two windows in the front, but as there's a brick staircase by the other one, this one has a better view, so Billy and I both prefer it.


I don't have wireless Internet, so I'm tethered to a cable, but it doesn't matter much since the studio is so small. My spot is in a chair (left by the previous tenant) by the window. I can job hunt (yes, I am), email, watch movies, whatever, and also look out the window at the large-vehicle parade going down the street. And best of all, I have a front row seat for the thunderstorms! These storms are incredible. There's one going on right now. Lightning, thunder, and so much rain! I love it. I had an argument once about whether San Diego really is a coastal desert. Even if it's not, it gets scant few inches of rain a year, so this California girl loves the rain. The novelty of it may wear off in the fall, but I don't think so. It's a little warm and muggy here, but pretty tolerable. Much nicer than I had been led to believe. Ice cream melts fast, but I prefer a spoon to a cone anyway.
