In the Last Week to Ten Days.


 I have been wanting to get a Night Blooming Cerus for a couple of years now. Amy and I saw them at Tohono Chul Park one night when they were blooming, and I thought it would be cool to have one here at the house. My friend Vivian posts sightings of them from around town, and out in the desert that I enjoy seeing. Porter and Stayc gave me this one. I can't wait for it to bloom.


 My pepper plants have really come to life since the temps have dropped below 100 degrees. This is a blossom on one of my Purple Chiltepene. I planted several of them from seed, and they are starting to produce.


 A small Jalapeno on my plant. Amy has been pickling them for me.


 My Serrano plant is covered with peppers. I am going to end up with more than we can eat.


This is a picture of the climb Mike and I got rained off last week. It is an old school 5.7, and is really fun. It is no 5.7 though.

Last week on my way out to ride my bike I stopped to get gas, and  they had these on sale. I hadn't had one in a long time. As a kid we used to get them from the little general store in Silverbell. They were a real treat. I figured I couldn't go wrong for a quarter. I still like them as much as I did as a kid. I know they are not good for me, but I highly recommend you try one if you ever see them (except for you Brett, a Big Cherry would make the chocolate snob in you shake and sweat).

I remember the shakes that I suffered through after eating a Big Cherry as a child. Never again Brenton, never again.

I been looking for a surrogate for the colorful assortment of drugs many of my patients enjoy before arriving at the hospital. Maybe your treat would suffice.

Name of the climb?

Sorry about that Kent. I meant to post the climb's name. It is Vista Cruiser. We were going to warm up on it, and then do Stems and Seeds. After that we didn't have a real plan. It was just nice being outside.
